The solution in the bug report is ineffective for non-Unity desktops. The bug is manifest in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when using a desktop (GNOME 3 flashback) that is not Unity.

The patches in comments #1 and #7 are likely to *cause* a problem with non-Unity desktops.
[This is of relevance given the recent announcement that Unity is to be retired in favour of GNOME 3 with the 18.04 LTS release of Ubuntu.]
