    Status: Open => Answered

Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello again,

I am redirecting Benjamin's answer here for Jürgen's benefit. I agree
that it is probably not the packages. But we also did not touch that
particular functionality for a long time as well, so I wonder whether
something else in Debian's stack changed that we have to adapt to.

Just to make sure, can anyone not running Debian or Ubuntu or any of its
derivatives confirm this? If so, it should definitely become a bug
report, possibly blocking the release of version 0.4.7.

Best regards, Adam.

P.S.: Background is that I can not reproduce this running the daily
builds in openSUSE 12.3/KDE and Arch/Xfce...
