They say on launchpad that a bug fix has been released for Ubuntu.
But I still have the problem every time I shut down the computer with
Ubuntu 9.10 so maybe they did not spread the bug fix through an update.
With the beta version of karmic the problem did not appear anymore but
with the finale release... it was back !
I wonder wether it has something to do with Compiz. The pop-up at
shutdown says something like my screen is not composited or something.
I still hope the problem will disappear in the next version : Lucid Lynx.
