I am already in contact with Adam.

If it is not fixed immediately, it does not mean it will never be fixed.

If you would be on the ML, you would see that these visual improvements are
in fact the most wanted features, yes!

This means: We should have dropped every architecture which did not support
all features? This means, after 1.13, every non-windows architecture
would've been dropped.

Thanks. It's crap?

How do you issue a load command if you do an autostart?

"under certain conditions"... Do you have these conditions in a more
specific way? This would help a lot.

Do you have a working demo?

"Someone told me someday that something goes wrong on certain conditions."

Despite of hearsay, that's a bug report every developer likes!

Where do you find better GUIs?

If the reports are as specific as the one above, I understand why they don't
listen. :-p

If the bug report is of this big "quality", why should anyone forward it?
There's almost no chance the bug will be even reproducible.

Please remember that everyone is doing VICE as a hobby. Furthermore, think
of some of your own comments on some mailing lists, they are not always
polite either.
