Comment 24 for bug 1170958

Because of Canonical's ineptitude and poor support there is now an article on this very bug on one of the most popular Ubuntu websites. I would assume it was written as every 13.04 user is tired of waiting on Canonical to fix bugs that should have never shown up in a stable release in the first place.

 It list two workarounds to try and mitigate the issue, but alas neither are really that great of an option. Yet again showing how important it is for Canonical to fix bugs like this sooner rather than later.

Here is a very good quote from a comment on that article.

"If ubuntu really wants to become mainstream, and 'not another linux distro" they need to take more steps not to release a stable ubuntu with obvious stability and/or visual bugs like this. It really gives me the feeling that I'm using beta software, and not a stable and polished release."

Which I have to agree. There are laptops being sold with this OS, there is no excuse at this point to have these kind of bugs in so called stable releases.
