Sorry guys, after 2.5 years and no movement on this, we had long since given up. The schools have reverted back to Windows computers in their labs because of issues such as this (this was one of the biggest issues we had which was preventing the kids from using presentation software). It's too bad that it takes so long for people to see bugs in software that are critical to environments such as schools, where the exposure of open source software is critical for young people to have a good (or bad) impression (no pun intended) of it. For myself, I have reverted back to Debian, which experiences very few "roll-over" issues compared to Ubuntu. Not that anyone really cares, I just thought I'd let you all know why I wasn't about to keep going after this bug. Seriously, though. 2.5 years...
