Comment 3 for bug 158436

This bug is *totally* annoying, it really impedes work. Isn't there something that can be done? I'll take anything - workarounds, things to try, etc. Can anybody reproduce this?
Do you need more info?
I am using a standard setup, therefore Gonme/gdm/metacity. Kernel is 2.6.22-14-386

My sincere thanks for any help :-(
