Fixed LP: #629452 - can not disable bluetooth in applet menu
Investigating LP: #551809, but struggling with this one now
Uploaded fix for LP #239952 - firefox - the associated helper application does not exist. The patch has also landed on mozilla-1.9.2 which means it will be in the next regular security update for all Ubuntu releases
Uploaded fix for LP: #630281 - After upgrade keyboard "mail" shortcut does not work
Fixed LP: #641056 - Loader chooses 64-bit instead of 32-bit library, in both gdk-pixbuf and ia32-libs

Fixed LP: #643047 - package seamonkey 2.0.8 build1 nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Fixed LP: #646632 - No dictionaries present in Seamonkey
Fixed LP: #646862 - skype crashes after signing in, caused by refreshing the packages when I did the last ia32-libs change. DIE DIE DIE IA32-LIBS!!!!
I would like it if nobody asked me about ia32-libs again. Thank you

- wrote a gnome-session patch to avoid launching gnome-panel and a window manager from a saved session in the UNE session
