Yeah, that bug (#353126) is open for over two years so re-testing is a
good idea.  I notice in particular many of the bugs listed as dupes are
in the 300000-400000 range, with only one filed in the natty timeframe.

The comments from 2011 are all either from people running older
Ubuntu's, or -fglrx, or don't specify.

I wish we could track and see what distro version those Affects Me were
reporting against, or when they were set.  It is possible most of those
were from Lucid/nvidia users (who gained the fix in a later release),
but we don't know.  Looking at the dupes and comments it seems like a
valid guess.

Anyway, a call for testing during oneiric rc seems a good suggestion.
But I think as a next action, I think I have all the hardware I need to
test it myself, so I'll try and do that today or tomorrow.  I would hate
to spin up a bunch of people to do testing if there really are obvious
breakages...

Is this something the QA could / would be willing to do?  Seb, do you
know if vino has a way to automatedly turn it on & config it ala dbus or
something?
