Christian,

Thanks, I think I've registered it correctly.  The only part that I
couldn't find was the bug tracker, but maybe I'm missing something or
don't have a launchpad permission?  Anyways thank you a lot for your help
on this.
Also I learned some new things about launchpad which was nice.

Thanks again,
