Great. That worked like a charm. Takes some of the pressure off of me
to upgrade to the latest and greatest.
The only feedback I'd have is that an Edit button would be nice so that
the Change Properties -> Description textbox section wouldn't take up
so much room. Alternatively a read-only view of the ticket, with all of
it's comments, would be solve the same problem. I envision bringing a
stack of open tickets to a project meeting and going over them one at
a time to see what it would take to close them.
I got around that by creating a special admin user for myself to do
the revision work. For printing off the Tickets I just log in with
my non-admin user ID.

Well yes I do need to serve up with Apache. I'm using Trac to
communicate about three projects with about 20 people all told.
Plus misc sys integration work.
From further research it seems like easy_install keeps it's
own private version of Genshi / Pygments, etc, that stays
out of the way of apt-get installed Python, ideally.
A lot of people seem to have problems making their system work
like that. Now that I have a good working apache version I
should be able to get a 0.11 easy_install version up.
Thanks, I'm now armed with a great new organizational tool.
Just what I needed after getting corporately beat up last year.
