I hear you.  My point wasn't that Ubuntu should not be pursuing new
features but, rather, that they need to get basic functionality working
and stable first.  It just seems that, all too often, we just get
everything working, and then the next upgrade breaks things all over
again.  I realize that there are complexities in making different
components work together, especially when they're always changing.
However, this particular issue has plagued Ubuntu on and off for 4 years
now.  Duplicate defects (each with their own lists of comments) for this
issue have been logged 16 separate times.  I suspect that it has taken a
back seat to other issues mainly because it's perceived as being
cosmetic in nature.  I want to raise awareness that many of the people
asking and waiting for this bug to be fixed are not just interested in
trying out the latest 'eye candy'.  For some, it really is a functional
issue.

Sure, if that will help get it resolved faster.  However, given that
it's been fixed before and tends to keep resurfacing in subsequent
releases, I think there also needs to be a quality control process at
Canonical where certain known recurring issues specifically get tested
during each release cycle.
