Bug#281952: confirming this bug

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

i just wanted to confirm this as a bug.

i'm getting the same misbehavior on an old translucent dark blue iMac
named 'mau'.

the problem appears to be that
 
  control-center-2.6.1/debian/patches/08_pmu_fix.patch

makes acme_fblevel_is_powerbook() test /proc/cpuinfo for the presence
of the string 'NewWorld' instead of testing for 'PowerMac' like it
used to, while simultaneously switching around the order of the tests
for the existence of /dev/pmu, which might have already yielded the
desired behavior, at least for me.

but i don't really understand the full rationale for the changes that
appear to be made in that patch anyway.

here's info on the system that i'm looking at:

[sysadmin@mau sysadmin]$ apt-show-versions capplets
