I know it's there to keep data integrity but what should I do when it  
makes some apps unusable? Becouse it really hurts amarok for me and  
without disabling it in sqlite code amarok I can't call it listening to  
music. I can always patch one or few apps and live with it but what if  
half of my apps will do it?
Anyway I'm goint to work now so I won't be having this problem for next 8  
hours.
