Jeremy, that's great. I marked the other bug as a duplicate, which it is. This is a better, more thorough, more correctly-worded bug. I agree that people can and should work on fixing a duplicate bug. That is a separate question from which bug should be marked duplicate. This bug is also correctly attributed to the part of Ubuntu that needs to be fixed (Not Ubuntu at all, but GNOME).
