Amazingly I needed to do a check on ubuntu raring, so I quickly setup a raring guest. And as I am at it, dit the panel->properties->[background] test, and it got killed with out any 'oh no' message, so even harder to understand what happen :) I may be back to debian for raring era :)
So this is more a general GUI linux world problem, all distro's are victimised by questionable bus architecture, then wanted to get as nice as MAC, and got as worth as windooze :) (just kidin, don't flame). And about opening a ticket, well why opening at debian since it is general... I am not involved enough to know the process of reporting this....
