Well that is what the Ubuntu news letter said.

Colonel Panic said...

yeah, perhaps 8.04.1 or 8.04.2 will fix that bug.

...what was the bug anyway?

you don't wanna know. I'll tell you anyway though. Don't blame me when you drop down dead reading this.

OK, here goes: if you opened a dialog then clicked away then clicked back in the dialog, the system froze. Not joking. You couldn't restart X. You couldn't switch to a virtual terminal (tty). You could do NOTHING, except reset.

i said all that in the past tence cause it seems to be fixed (phew!!! :D)
