Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

@Pedro,
I downloaded and checked Oneiric 11.10 live cd several times and I can't reproduce the bug I've reported on 11.04. This is maybe due to the new stack (Gnome 3, GTK3) of the new Ubuntu 11.10 versus the old stack (Gnome 2, GTK2) of 11.04...
So should we close this bug report ? I don't know....
We could let it expire... if nobody else come across with the same bug :)

sounds good, lets close the bug for now, thanks for the comments, and please don't hesitate on reporting new bugs with oneiric, thanks.
