Comment:

 Phyx-, could you perhaps open a new ticket just to track this issue so we
 can close this ticket? I think most of the information needed has already
 been written down here in one place or another; it's just a matter of
 copying it to a new ticket, distilling a clear statement of the problem,
 and collecting the approaches that you have already tried.
