I hope we can solve this issue and all the other ones in the next weeks.
Last time we talked on IRC their were mostly cosmetic problems and since
then I fixed them and sorted out some other problems with the translated 
descriptions.

I just have had time to test it thoroughly. Will do this at the coming
weekend and then come back to you so we can hopefully close all these
pending bugs...

Gruesse,
