Sorry to disappoint you, but 2.30.2 is already in lucid-proposed (and maverick) and should hit lucid-updates as soon as the associated bug reports will be checked (LP: #561319, #469459, #581759, #581885, #564766, #444832, #380643, #587924, #592075). You are welcome to confirm those are fixed in the new version. > > I've downloaded the correct source and, with a number of problems, > succeeded in doing a debuild.

You should find all the support to get help from there. Didier -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
