I couldn't seem to get the fix mentioned to work with existing users on both karmic and lucid. It seems to work after a restart though. So I can confirm that the fix works, after a restart.
I second Igor Wojnicki 's suggestion, with one additional thing:either upgrade the setting to unchecked if it is checked, or ask the user about it.
I had trouble with this bug for a long time before I tried to file a bug about this and found this bug. So, I imagine lots of people who don't usually file bugs wouldn't know about the fix, and the bug would still affect them after the default was updated, because their settings, which didn't change from the default, wouldn't be changed to the new default, right?
