This really isn't acceptable for our use. We may have a rather smallish organization (I manage 103 Ubuntu machines, most of them user-facing workstations) but we are a national research institute and we give Linux and Ubuntu international attention every time we have a group of scientists arrive for a workshop simply by running something other than the standard Winblows ecosystem. Creating a second account for them really isn't feasible, and trying to convince them to log in a second time, "just in case," just doesn't work. For many of them this will be their first exposure to a Linux desktop environment, and if they get bitten by a bug like this then it'll probably be their last. This bug makes both Ubuntu and Linux in general look bad, and that makes me sad. There are some functions that you just expect to work without fail, and this is one of them.
