I think I just fixed a little bug in the exe-thumbnailer script, and would contribute it. Whom do I have to get in touch with? 2.) I have done some rearrangements of the overlay version number. I think it reads far better now and is less obstructive. If somebody is interested... 3.) It should be rather easy to implement some flags to select whether one wants overlay version number or even the background wine glass. If there's interest I'd do that... 4.) Is there a reason why the python routine to clean the filename was chosen over a simple basename. The latter is installed everywhere (AFAIK), while python is not... Ah... Before I forget: Great idea, great script - Thanks!! ;) Regards! Hi,

It's not being ignored, it's just easier to manage bugs when they're split up by code issue rather than user-visible symptom. If we didn't do it this way we'd end up never closing bugs like "iTunes doesn't work" and the bug tracker would become rather useless for coordinating on all the different underlying reasons why it doesn't work. Each API needs its own set of patches and tests, and thus its own set of debugging - hence different bug numbers.

Specifically, bug 21609. Although a patch was committed and the bug marked as resolved/fixed, it did not fix hardly any of the applications suffering from the regression. So the remaining 99% of the regression was exiled to the new bug 23249 which has not been marked as as a Wine 1.2 target although it needs to be considered a major release blocker.

It does not look likely that OpenAL will be merged before the Ubuntu 10.10 freeze. And even if OpenAL patches are ready, they can not be well tested in this limited time. So IMHO it would be wiser to merge winepulse patches that work now (and have worked for years) and then, when OpenAL patches are ready test and merge those.
