Still present on 14.04.1. I am seeing this again today.

I wonder if this would count as a papercut? I am not really sure as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Mission says "Have the impression the desktop is rock solid." and this is a log rotation system that only moans if root mail is setup. On the other hand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Triage/Classify%20as%20a%20papercut?highlight=%28CategoryPapercuts%29 says "If a bug is trivial to fix, you shall classify it as a papercut by marking it as affecting the "hundredpapercuts" project." and this bug just needs the upstream bug brought in. It would make at least 6 of us feel like someone is caring too.

Front page of the One Hundred Papercuts says "If any doubt, you can ask any time." so I shall add papercuts-ninja list to the subscription. This is a very low traffic bug so someone can unsubscribe them before this thread generates more than a couple of posts.
