Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Hi federico,

I took the liberty to file the bug at GNOME bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601880

Thanks

low? status is low? This can be HIGHLY annoying, especially if the status is set to "AWAY" for good reason.

Assigning this to the Papercuts project. Based on the upstream report, it seems like patching this is quite trivial.

[Brian Curtis (bcurtiswx)]

I have a patch upstream that they have to review. Pedro, if you want I can submit the patch here as well

[Conscious User (conscioususer)]

The patch was approved and merged upstream. I suppose this means it will be present in Gnome 2.30 and therefore in Lucid.

[Conscious User (conscioususer)]

Running Lucid Beta 1. Seems like the patch arrived. I think this can be marked as Fix Released.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

The upstream task is marked fixed and also the last comment suggest that its fixed so marking fixed
