** Description changed:

- The unity UI and windows decorations dissappear when I do one of the
- following:
+ =========== WARNING ===============
+ 
+ Doing:
  
  sudo restart networking
  
  or
  
  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.
  
- This renders me unable to focus any of the open windows with
- mouse/keyboard, leaving the system unusable. I have to drop to terminal
- (CTRL-ALT-F2) and do a sudo reboot.
+ ============ WILL TEAR DOWN MOST OF YOUR DESKTOP =============
  
- I am not sure what parts of the desktop are going down, so I posted this
- bug under ubuntu-desktop. I'd be happy to follow up with more
- information as needed.
+ Networking is a generic job which brings up all networking interfaces in
+ the right order at boot.
