Hmm. That bug report led me to believe that the latest fixed version in
Debian repos is 1785, which is what I have installed in my Xubuntu
13.10. But maybe I misunderstood the bug report. In any event, I don't
use it often, so perhaps I should just wait until someone fixes the
Xubuntu 14.04 live DVD so that I can upgrade from it (I don't like
dist-upgrades over the net). Maybe the Ubuntu 14.04 repos will have a
new version that works.

Thanks for finding that bug report for me!
