Sebastien > the issue itself is confusing. Some computer have it all the time, some have it very rarely. On some computer, it's solved by a reboot. On some others, not. As far as I know, it can happen with Nvidia and Intel graphic card.

I had this bug under Gnome 2.6 or 2.8 (I don't remember) on a desktop computer with a GeForce 4MX but never reappared on this computer eventhough it was completely reinstalled (with a whole fresh new hard drive) a few years later l. I had it on my current laptop in Edgy (intel card). It was solved under Feisty.

So, to all reporters : instead of looking for a solution/workaround, this bug needs a real reproducible test case. It must be from a fresh and empty Ubuntu desktop with a given file (and a given Graphic card). If you can reproduce this from a Live CD, it could be a good idea.

I wish there was a comment which says :

1) Install Ubuntu on a computer with XXX graphic card
2) Install packages xxx and yyy
3) Download movie zzzz and launch it in player AAA
4) The bug happens.
