       Any bugs found should be reported to the online bug-tracking system available on  the  web
       at  http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/issues/list.  Before  reporting bugs, please check to
       see if the bug has already been reported.

       When reporting Ardesia bugs, it is important to include a reliable way  to  reproduce  the
       bug,  version number of Ardesia (and probably GTK+), OS name and version, and any relevant
       hardware specs. If a bug is causing a crash, it is very useful if a  stack  trace  can  be
