I am truly sorry Locutus but I have no interest in pursuing this bug any further: my issues were fully addressed and my rig is back to full functionality (and I more a of "an advanced user" than a developer of OS software and/or apps).
I think you ought to contact them directly. Even if you are not a Linux Mint user, you can still create a user account at the Linux Mint forums and interact with the Mint development teams, especially Clem (Mint's team leader), and ask them to address your specific interests.
