Of course the persons behind this know the reasons. I think that it
could be like a warnning message when compiling a source, if you want
only one result, it is ok, ignore the rest.  But there is a reason for
the warnning.

I agree, and I use this way since the begining (F??-x86_64).
My problem is NOT emergency, I decided to give Apper a try, it came by
default on my 3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64.

And as a developer, I think that our friends that are responsable for
Apper would like to have a feed back.  And I would like to have it
working very well. For me It is not necessary to close a not very used
alternative, let it there working 100%.

By now, I would like to fix this problem, but also not to lose the
opportunity to learn.  Do you know someone that could help me?

Thanks, Yumex is also my friend, I know it since a long time.

Excellent, this could be a good sugestion for our friend of Apper. I
would like to e-mail them.
But I don't know where.  Any help is well come.
