PS: Bo, making a bug WONTFIX does not help much in this case. We knew it would have to be done, but it was not high priority. My concern was that Status.15x was getting too big. Going through the not-for-1.5.0 ones (again and again) is a waste of time. I also notice that some items are not repr

Hi, Georg, If anybody moves this to WONTFIX again I'll get really upset. Does nobody see how ridiculous it is to require the user to choose the one existing frontend? If this does not get fixed for 1.5.0 we'll get many complaints, and a bad reputation. I do not see your points. 1. Theoretical
