Comment 2 for bug 417491

Upstream gnome has a patch for this, but they seem unsure about applying it. Maybe Ubuntu can help here, either by refining the patch so that it satisfies upstream, or by servicing the ubuntu user base by applying the patch to the ubuntu packages, so that there are no "bad surprises" when Karmic final is released.

I would really hate to loose this feature, I depend on this to use my laptop as a music player in the public transit.
