I've had this same problem for about a year now, and it's been driving me crazy.  Is there any workaround?  Thanks.

Comment 3 Andrew McNabb 2010-09-14 19:51:24 UTC

I've still been noticing this in Fedora 13, so I'm bumping the version.

Comment 4 Andrew McNabb 2010-11-17 17:09:01 UTC

Also in Fedora 14.  By the way, this and bug 617465 seem to be closely related.
