tbys (tbys) wrote : Restarting network crashes (apparently) the desktop manager

The unity UI and windows decorations dissappear when I do one of the following:

sudo restart networking

or

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.

This renders me unable to focus any of the open windows with mouse/keyboard, leaving the system unusable. I have to drop to terminal (CTRL-ALT-F2) and do a sudo reboot.

I am not sure what parts of the desktop are going down, so I posted this bug under ubuntu-desktop. I'd be happy to follow up with more information as needed.
