This issue does not appear on my Hardy Heron (8.04) Beta. So marking this issue as resolved makes the list shorter ;-) You can enable even more non TrueType fonts with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config sudo fc-cache -fv You are now able to select Terminal,Clean etc. fonts in the fonts

Rocko described the problem very well. The real problem is, that user forced to install proprietary, broken fglrx driver instead of nice, working, open source radeon driver. With 'broken fglrx' I mean: * no xrandr * random crashes, at least with my Mobility Radeon X300 * no wakeup from standby

I can confirm this bug in Intrepid. It worked in Hardy. Now after each sleep/wake-up I have to run `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap` to get the *external* keyboard work properly. The internal notebook keyboard keeps it layout and shows no problem. -- Intrepid: Xmodmap needs to be run again after resume from

The workaround on Ubuntu 11.04 is to aptitude install python-gnome2 which provides `bonobo.ui` python package. So the bug is the missing dependency to the `python-gnome2` package. Also compare to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/dockbar/+bug/760388 -- You received this bug notification
