Comment 13 for bug 1323772

That makes no sense since the workaround in this thread is useful for those searching for a solution to the problem (this year) and your description appears to be the duplicate since it was filed later :-)

Secondly, this bug indicates that this is an bug with ties to older bugs, which can perhaps be of use. I.e., why is the bug not addressed properly, which is another issue to resolve. 11 people (at least) are affected as well which can give input instead of six.

I have deployed the workaround during several Ubuntu releases. It still works!
