the cause. �You've already hinted at one difference ... Gnome 3 vs
Unity. �Is the problem confined to Gnome 3 or does it affect Unity
users too? �Has the bug been reported in Launchpad?
I try not to lose too much sleep over problems. �If I can fix it, I

or try something else. �Have had an interesting time over the lifetime

I've got a few puzzles to sort out - some of which may never get
solved because it's much easier to work around the problem. �(An
interesting one at the moment is that Windows XP running in a virtual
machine in Windows 7 can't "see" a printer on the local network ...
the local network is 192.168.1.xxx, and the virtual XP IP address is
192.168.yyy.xxx (forgotten the actual numbers, but yyy is >100). �XP
has no problems seeing the network on the other side of the
router/modem!). �In the past (as far as I remember!) I've noted
similar problems with VirtualBox (Linux within Linux) but never worked
out how to communicate with a virtual machine over the local network.
Cheers and happy bug-hunting
