[CoLoCo] help confirming a small bug in gnome

[Andrew]

Thanks Jim, but I had already figured that out. :)

you will notice that I didn't ask for help in fixing it. Just help in
confirming it, so it can be fixed later.

It's kind of neat how people from this (or any ubuntu) group start
jumping on right away to help fix problems. :)
