Comment 8 for bug 63208

The workaround posted by Christian Holtje is the one I am using, and Sebastian Bacher is right -- it sucks for many reasons, but its better than having a non-functioning desktop. So I'm stuck with it until libwnck packages are fixed in feisty (which I'm hoping is sooner rather than later -- pushing the patches upstream is the right thing, but giving users broken [=nonpatched] packages is not a good solution either).
