Sounds good to me!  I think my biggest "blocker"-level issues with the extended 0.40.3 builds are the mismatched font-cursor handling in object-boxes with the new fonts, and the inability to use >~/mtx_*~ and so on (though I believe IOhannes may have fixed that recently?).

 
What mismatched font cursor handling?  If there's a bug, please report it on the tracker. :-)

I did, and apparently it was fixed : ).  Anyway, the description is exactly the same:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1650752&group_id=55736&atid=478070

Can this be reopened or should I submit a new one?

Cheers
