my 2 cents about that issue: there are two cases on my end: - a laptop dual booting windows+maverick (only): never met that issue
- a desktop with multi boot: windows+lucid+maverick+natty (all i386) and sharing a single /home. With this config i continuously get issues like related with this report. Its clear to me that's happening because of all these ubuntu distros are sharing a single /home. As there are only common settings and configs, they are conflicting each others: example: as my latest settings are related to natty (and work properly), when i run maverick again then the panel is broken (icons desappeared). Readding the missing icons in maverick, then reopen natty, and the icons are duplicated now on natty !!!! so my conclusion is: as the settings related to a specific ubuntu distro are not signed and not affected exclusively to this distro, there are races/conflicts with other linux sharing the same /home and most of its hidden folders (.gconf, ...) Should like to know if other users with this config (single /home shared by multi linux distro) & devs are agreeing too. In my point of view the latest distro settings override the previous settings (even they are related to a different distro/release), thats really a bed design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439448 Title: Visual corruption affecting several panel applets -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
