I just upgraded to Gutsy and am seeing this problem too. With all due appreciation for the benefits of free software (really!) I find it incredible that this bug has persisted through so many ubuntu releases, has been _refused_ for Gutsy, and that no Ubuntu developer has described a definitive and reliable workaround in this bug entry.
