This bug is marked as fixed it seems.

Which bug do you mean? If you mean the "places" folders, then yes, it apparently got "fixed" at some point, but I've seen at least 10 new threads on this both in "Absolute Beginners" and "General Help" over the past days, so it seems in fact to be very much alive.

No, updates takes times to reach all the mirrors and some users may have not the update available yet or just don't have an up to date ubuntu box.

So this explains why some users are still reporting this and will continue reporting this for some weeks.

Sorry, I see now that I gave you the wrong launchpad thread. The correct one (with regard to the "places" folders) is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...el/+bug/260492. Note that this has the same bug number as the one I posted before, but it's filed against gnome-panel instead of nautilus. You'll notice that this one is still "in progress," with a fix uploaded to intrepid-proposed just yesterday. The reports on this thread show that upgrades from Hardy to Intrepid are still affected.

Further bug, gnome-session-remove is missing.

Regarding the bluetooth mouse bug, since removing avahi-daemon and avahi-autoipd, my Acer Aspire One netbook finds my MS 5000v1.0 bluetooth mouse possibly with every fresh boot. Insidentally the atheros driver I'm using is from madwifi not the default driver in 8.10 which I disabled. I've also posted my findings on this bluetooth bug thread in Launchpad. I'm not sure if there is a cause and effect or it's just a chance finding.

Subsequently report: One warm restart no working bluetooth mouse, one cold restart and it's working again.

Apparently, Totem is installed by default in Xubuntu, but not any codecs. I just tried about 15 random videos and it didn't have audio or video codecs for any of them. Why include a movie player that can't play any movies? >_> (For that matter, why not include mplayer?)

As I've mentioned before, the keyboard is messed up. Down, Left, Numpad Down, Numpad Left (when Num Lock is off), End, Page Down do nothing, and Page Up types a slash.

The Xfce panel weather plugin doesn't seem to be showing any icons, unless the "fog" icon is just a white blob.

I can't install the Flash player for Firefox either. It either hangs at 0% or times out.

[edit] Why is Thunderbird the default image viewer when an actual image viewer is installed?
