Hi Eric, I'd really appreciate if you could explain what exactly to do with "fixed_grid_oneiric.tar.bz2" or maybe point to similar resource as such. For those like myself who dearly miss this functionality but lack the expertise to implment your fix. I suspect we may need to do this all over again come 12.04.
