It's good to know that you don't need me to test it, because I don't 
know whether I will have the time before leaving for holidays; I will 
not be online from Tuesday evening, until the 13th.

I have sent an email to the ubuntu-desktop mailing list, with links 
to this thread, in order to inform the maintainer of the desktop in 
Ubuntu (hence also of gdm) about the probable release of a fix.

Moreover, the bug report in Ubuntu about this issue is linked to the 
correspondent bug in gnome. Consequently, if the bug status in gnome 
will be updated, ubuntu will be automatically informed.

Thanks to both of you.
