I have this same bug. Screenshot: http://picasaweb.google.com/xburnerx/UbuntuLinuxScreenshots/photo#5051839240363084114
To reiterate, this only happens with Gnome regardless of login manager. I have KDE & XFCE installed as well which work just fine from either gdm or kdm. It happens on two desktops for me, but not my laptop anymore after a reinstall of Feisty. I've tried to isolate what triggers this to no avail. I know what doesn't trigger it. It's not: *related to nvidia card or binary drivers as I've seen this on an Intel i810 and an ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility using the ati driver *related to user preferences, as I've created a new user and wiped my ~/.* and the problem still exists It must be package related somewhere since when I reinstalled the Feisty Beta on my desktop, the problem was gone. I tried to be conservative about installing packages to isolate what caused the issue, but it just came back all of a sudden and I'm not sure what brought it. For the record, I have a desktop that only has gnome and xfce which the problem appears on. I have another desktop with KDE, Xfce, and Gnome on, but the problem occurred when it was only Gnome.
