Well done.  You're a quick learner.  If you're unsure what
to do or what's proper in situations like these, I recommend
checking the email archives.  Questions like these have been
asked before and answers are readily available.  I won't 
attempt to summarize (or restart) here the discussions that 
have taken place about what packages are default.

This has been discussed too.  This may well be "normal operation".
Again, you may find it useful to review the email archives.


>Will these be fixed?


The former is not a bug so no, it won't be fixed.  If the latter is
indicative of a bug then yes, it will eventually be fixed by someone.
Are you interested in tracking down your issue and providing a patch?


>Thanks for hearing me out.


You're welcome.  For future reference, it's best to only post a message
once on this list.  Repeats only increase the burden on this high-volume
list.
