[svlug] Why for not updating?

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I use Kate as a code editor, and like it very much. It's not 
as fancy shmancy as some of them there big city editors like 
you folk may use in your high falootin' Siliconer Valleys and 
what nots, but dadgumit it does right by us simple folk here 
in the Midwest.

ahem... Anyway, it works great and I like it. But on Ubuntu 
9.04 for some crazy reason the file dialogue lists all the 
files in descending alphabetical order, and even if you change 
it in the menu on the file dialogue box, it still reverts back 
for all other directories and the next time you open it.

I've seen people citing this all over the place, but no fix 
yet that I can find.

However, I just did a new install of 9.04 and it works fine on 
that machine, so my big Q is, if there's a fix for it how come 
I haven't gotten it in an update?

I guess I can uninstall Kate and reinstall, but I'd rather not 
since I have all the settings to my liking as is.

Suggestions? Witticisms? Fashion tips?

Eternally grateful,
Skip
