I didn't know they. I'll try them, thanks.
btw, I looked comments in the bug report. Daenyth have persuaded me to keep the patch out from arch with these words: "Let's keep things minimal, I'm pretty sure the stated policy is to only patch when a major feature is broken, or if it needs patches to work with arch, and not to add new features" Thanks for your time Cheers -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Trusted User Linux User: #430842
