Hi, This is a compile time option, so if you have no problem building your own package, this can be disabled. It's off by default, but enabled in the Debian package. I don't know if there's a strong reason for it to be enabled? The upstream bug discussing this feature mirrors your concerns, that's why it isn't enabled by default. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344839 for the discussion. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
