I also informed packagers about it on our packagers list. So if this fix is not available in your current package please bug your distribution about it.

Could it be applied in the upstream?

First of all, please forgive me for my noobiness.  I finally ditched Windows after using Wubi and wanting a full on Linux machine.  I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and love it!  As you can guess, I have the same issue with the Artist wiki tab not working.  I see the link for the fix but can someone please help me on how to apply the update?  I have no clue on how and where to find the file to insert the code as well as compiling it.  Every time I try to google a solution I get on a never ending goose hunt of links to different forums where I can't get a simple answer for my simple little pea brain.  Anyway, if anyone could throw me a bone in terms of how to fix this, I'd be eternally grateful!!!

Cheers,
Juelze
