The thing is dsnative is no offisial thing and I don't really like such  
things. I thought that there is some possibilities (maybe patches) to make  
it works with -vc coreavcwindows options that, as official thing, must be  
working but it is not. But I see that it's not. So we'll wait. May be in  
some newer SVN this thing will work (?) Anyway thanks for your reply.
