Comment 36 for bug 520118

If my memory serves me correctly this bug did not begin until the upgrade to Xubuntu 10.04 (from an earlier xubuntu). Until I got irritated enough to report it, and found this bug report (and the associated workaround), I had simply given up working on this computer. It was a serious problem for me. I was bringing my laptop to work instead.

This was one of several bugs that made Xubuntu 10.04 unusable. (The other bugs are: constant firefox crashes, and frozen or slow response from the evince pdf viewer. Sorry. I digress. I'll report these elsewhere.) I've also been using regular ubuntu 10.04 (gnome) for a week, without any problems. If my impression means anything, I would say xubuntu 10.04 is definitely not ready for release.

Xubuntu version:
I'm not the administrator of this machine, but it was upgraded to Xubuntu 10.04 and up-to-date less than a week ago.
