Comment 152 for bug 44082

Josh, I'm pretty sure the bug is much more complicated to fix it in few hours... I remember someone was already fed up and said he'll work on it. If it was just few hours I'm sure he would already finish. Don't get me wrong, I'm also fed up by this, and it's one of those tiny bugs that aren't critical but annoying as hell, which makes me switch distro as soon as I'll get some time to reinstall the system. (which should be in a week).

Sebastien: I understand your position, that you can't expect much from people who do this in their free time, but please don't label this bug as low importance. It might seem like it is non important bug (especially for desktop users), but add 2 or 3 bugs with same annoyance and watch people switching to alternatives.

After upgrading from Karmic to Jaunty I started booting to my windows partition more often. It's not due some problems, but it's because of all of those tiny bugs and race conditions that Ubuntu is full of. For example my sound worked well after installing Jaunty (I did it from scratch because from past experience upgraded system had random problems - another issue). After installing couple updates, my sound suddenly stopped to work. I didn't install any audio application, in fact I didn't even know that the look of mixer changed since Karmic, so I'm fairly sure it didn't break, I also know it worked in past because I was watching a movie after I installed Jaunty.
