Saying that you don't have a problem isn't particularly helpful, either.
It might allow you to eliminate the factors we have in common as being 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 will. If not, I either live with it and wait until the next release or try something else. Have had an interesting time over the lifetime of this laptop with wireless! Used other distros until Ubuntu worked "out of the box" with my wireless. 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 Michael
