Perhaps.  I'd rather not discuss specifics of individual bug reports
in this thread though.  I know that there are some bugs that need to
be fixed before the release.  What I'm more intereseted in is whether
anyone is currently working on any substantial projects that should be
considered for 3.4, and what the chances are for making legends work.
I don't think I have the expertise to do that in any short period of
time, but I will help in whatever way I can.
