I used 2.26.1 also, it was partly stable in my experience. 2.28.1 is
rock-solid for me. As mentioned, 2.28.0 is (IMO) crap, but it was fixed
REALLY fast. Unfortunately due to gnome's release system, the fix was
only released at 2.28.1, unless you want to compile it yourself (that's
what I did).

I haven't touched my Buntu install for ages, so I have no idea what
version Karmic has. You should check, and lobby for 2.28.1 if you have
to.
