Comment 85 for bug 740126

Sorry if this is answered (indirectly even) elsewhere - but is this fix (patch from #83) expected to be be backported to a natty kernel ? I understand that the patch is for 2.6.39 so it would have to be backported to 2.6.38 for Natty yes ? Would this come in natty-updates or natty-backports ? I guess I'm mixing the usage of the term 'backport' here (i.e. literal repo term vs. generalized term) - sorry.

I really want to go to 11.04 but this bug is a showstopper. Especially running any virtualization - X crash of this nature means you are losing N running OSes of work :( I feel less crazy reading #11 re: not shipping with this bug (I agree). I understand this was listed in the Known Issues section of release notes, but still this is pretty serious. Disabling screen locking is not doable for anyone in a security conscious environment (i.e. workplace).
