I think Pawel means he (?) is now using Gnome on Ubuntu (rather than
Kubuntu, which has not been mentioned). I would have thought the
gconf-editor fix would've done it.

One thing I would say is log out of Gnome and log back in (assuming you've
not done that already. Although gconf changes are normally *instant*
anyway).

Good luck! I know my Breezy doesn't work like this (anymore? I don't know, I
tend to just get used to the way things work and take them for granted).
Can't speak for Dapper yet.
