Comment 324 for bug 439448

Joaquin : this is a serious upstream bug that will continue to affect other distros that don't use Gnome Shell, that will continue to affect users who want to keep the old interface, and that will continue to affect users of the LTS.

I really don't see why it wouldn't be fixable ? Now it even seems we have some ways to reproduce it almost each time. Well, if anyone can confirm that, when invoking "killall gnome-panel" from the "guest account" (or unmodified out of the box configuration), it corrupts the "show desktop icon" practically each time. Can people check that ?

Now I'll shut up until I really have some actual new pieces of information :)
