Ditto!

Tried both my regular account, and a new one, same result in both cases so no
old data laying around creating problems.

Comment 14 Aleksey Nogin 2005-03-24 17:48:40 UTC
This was first reported (against 1.0RC3 in RawHide) as bug 141899 - it was
marked as fixed, but now it is back.

Comment 15 Ian Pilcher 2005-03-24 20:30:56 UTC
Working in 1.0.2-1.3.2

Comment 16 Christopher Aillon 2005-03-24 20:36:40 UTC
Basically, just forgot to merge the old patch in rawhide back to fc3.
