somehow, I doubt it. I had the same problem with the 0.7.x series, but I
kinda assumed that it would be fixed in 0.9.0, so I didn't say anything
about it until now. I think that the problem started when I switched to
xf4.x. Like I said, I remember reading the sollution to the problem several
months ago, when xf4.0 first came out, but I don't remember what it was
