Comment 310 for bug 439448

Lonnie : I agree... In July I kind of said "please guys, let's stop complaining / commenting if no new relevant piece of information is added..." But... This bug has been here for so long it's getting ridiculous (no offense to anyone involved, but this report was created in sept 2009 and almost everyone gets this bug).

It occurs almost every day on my setup and I saw it occur on every setup I installed Ubuntu. (provided Compiz was enabled)

I'm definitely not the kind to complain at all, but this is making me lose faith in the development process :) It seems the GNOME devs don't use Ubuntu so don't reproduce it and don't care (as it seems related to the Human / Murrine GTK Engine) / or are too busy with GNOME shell / or the Ubuntu devs are too busy with UNITY and think "anyway in 11.04 the old UI will be ditched".

But well, the bug will still be in the LTS for one more year (!). And many people will prefer to keep the old Gnome panels interface.

Well I don't know what to say. Should we set up a bounty ? Or a petition ? I get phone calls of my friends telling me they cannot shut down the computer or access the applets... Gees !
