Hi,

> Don't you mean Lucid Lynx?
Yes, that what I meant. I'm already so far from Ubuntu that I use the
wrong names :-)

> And why is it not for you anymore?
Because they are spending too much time and resources chasing the Mac
look and feel (closing buttons on the left now, global menu on the top
for Maverick, see here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/359 I
expect their next move will be to have all the buttons of the mouse
acting like the left :-)
And because they are doing other things I don't like about, including
(but not only) these:

Are you saying that your package is included in Ubuntu and not in Debian??

Interesting, but feels too experimental for my needs.

Thanks for the message
