Comment 293 for bug 417757

Are there any updates with regards to this bug? I've been waiting patiently for some kind of fix (I check proposed updates everyday in the hope that there is some mention of this). My system is becoming frankly unusable since 90% of what I do is on the net. I've seen other bugs that have been open for five years or so and I fear that this one is going the same route. No updates whatsoever, even the discussion on this list have stopped.

It's a pity that I'm thinking of installing something else (even a windows 7 installation at this point) even though I've been thoroughly satisfied with 10.04 in all other respects.
