Binary package hint: netbook-launcher

Ubuntu 10.04 release candidate.

Bug occurred following an uneventful upgrade via update-manager -d.

Login/launcher works as normal, but when I open an application, it appears briefly (2-3 seconds at most) and then disappears. The application is still running, it's as if I have just pressed 'show desktop'. If I alt+tab or select the running application's icon from the top of the screen, the window returns but again disappears after less than 3 seconds.

The running application's icon in the launcher has a spinning wheel displayed on it - I assume this is a new feature on 10.04.

If I log out and log in as a GNOME session, everything works fine.

Also, not sure if the following is related, but it seems relevant:

I went into a separate tty and entered 'ps -ax |grep netbook-launcher'. This shows two processes:
 * /usr/bin/netbook-launcher-efl
 * netbook-launcher
The former process sometimes appears twice. The latter process seems to be rapidly changing its PID; every time I run ps it has a different number.
