Comment 13 for bug 563276

Ok, here is what to do if the functionality is reverted... go to system -> administration -> synaptics package manager. Search for gnome-settings-manager and select it (just select, dont double klick).

Klick on "package" in the top of the window (just under the window list) and select "force version". Then select "2.30.0-0ubuntu7~ppa1~lucid1" if you have lucid lynx
or "2.30.0-0ubuntu7~ppa1~karmic2" if you have karmic.

Now you need to go to system -> administration -> update manager and klick the "update" button. You should now se that the gnome-settings-manager is available for update. Install updates and you should be finished.

Just restart the computer and things will be back to normal.

Can somebody please tell me when this patch reaches normal channels?
I don't like having a locked version of a package... the package updates are done for a reason.
