Please note here is Debian, not Ubuntu. These two are closely related
but bugs may not be always the same as GNOME 2.10 is in Ubuntu, but not
yet in Debian.

Nevertheless, i'm ok to solve problems as long as they are not Ubuntu
specific, and this one seems to be 2.8 branch related (or even earlier).

I'll try to reproduce (later, i need network by now).

Many people would say it is not a good approximation if many hours have
passed, and moreover argue it is hiding the problem as one may not be
looking at details very often.
