Bug#329708: kicker fails to start

[Paul <pwb@pwb.hopto.org>]

I put the old configuration file back in, and kicker would not start,  I 
then looked at libiw28 and noticed I was running pre9 or more precisely 
the file

26486 2005-09-07 21:17 libiw28_27+28pre9-1_i386.deb

pwb@pwb:~$ sudo dpkg --install ./libiw28_27+28pre8-1_i386.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading libiw28 from 27+28pre9-1 to 27+28pre8-1.
(Reading database ... 215939 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libiw28 27+28pre9-1 (using 
./libiw28_27+28pre8-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libiw28 ...
Setting up libiw28 (27+28pre8-1) ...


So I downgraded to pre8 as suggested and kicker started and is running 
like a happy little vegemite.
