ok ok people.. if you look at the bug, you'll see that I submitted them 
as text, and set the mime type too... I just then wondered if people 
liked to see a .tar.bz2 _as well_

Has anyone actually looked at the ebuild yet? :p
It's my first submission and I'd like to know if I've gone about it the 
right way, (in regards to updating the gtk2 input module cache).

Cheers ppl,
