While it's lovely that it's fixed in 12.04, 10.04 is supposed to be supported on the desktop for another year and on servers for another three. I don't find "Upgrade to the newest Ubuntu" to be a nice solution for a bug in an LTS package.

My first comment (#2) includes a link to the patch from emacs that fixes this issue. Why can't it just be applied to emacs23 for 10.04?

I hate to be a pain about this, but it's likely to take some time to update the machines I have to administer to a new version of Ubuntu and having to check all the machines periodically for spinning emacs is getting old.
