Hi, I ried this 'solution' just one time. Unfortunately, I installed a lot of programs during the time. This problem appeared after upgrading gnome to the latest stable version. I had no problems at all by using gnome 2.16.
I used a unstable version of gnome-2.18 once and downgraded because of this problem. Nobody able to solve this problem.
