Hi,
Here is some new information on this problem.  Read this Ubuntu Forums post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=874333

In particular, read this thread the OP from above refers to:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=444342

Could this issue be due to a setting in gconf?  Is that a default Gnome 
setting, or do Ubuntu devs customize this?  Could this be why the 
problem is present in Ubuntu but not in OpenSUSE?  See this thread:
