Comment 11 for bug 943877

Last comment: This was enough of a nuisance (I do use launcher quite a bit) that I decided to completely reinstall Ubuntu today while doing housework. I just reinstalled 64-bit Oneiric on an AMD (reformatted the Ubuntu partition). And then did updates. With no other action taken: This problem exists immediately on a fresh Oneiric 64-bit install. (The hardware is an HP Pavilion)

I have had Oneiric running on this machine pretty much since it came out. This is a new problem of some sort and likely an update is responsible.

Also: Suddenly with this installation (and the one I did the other day), all icons in the launcer are locked and can not be repositioned. Perhaps this is somehow related.
