Hello,

Thank you for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry to keep the
bug unattended for so long.  There's now an effort to review the open
bugs related with SDL packages.

I see that you also forwarded the bug report to upstream, so I am
marking it as such.

I would prefer upstream to incorporate the patch (or at least to
"bless" it) before incorporating it in the Debian package and having
Debian's version to behave significantly different than others in this
particular case.  Otherwise if applications provide workarounds for
the problem, maybe they don't work in Debian because this patch gets
in the way.

Regards.
