Ok, what is the status of this problem. I have a feeling that this merits RC status, and should be fixed ASAP. I am a lone gnome user though, so i don't experience this much. Do you know if gnome 2.6 did solve this ? Also, is this a problem of gnome and esd alone, oand should be fixed there, or do we want a global ressource. I would fill a RC bug against esd ASAP, and we can sort this out later. (And BTW, i now have a vested interest in seeing that fixed, so let's work on it :) Friendly, Sven Luther
