Unconfirming, looks like a local configuration issue, gnome-desktop is not likely to be the right component though, the package ships gnome-about and a library

that would require debugging, we try to fix identified bugs there, maybe you could use the support tracker to get help and then update the bug if you figure what is wrong?

Hello,

It seems to me that I encountered the same problem... With 64 Bits version of ubuntu upgrade to Hardy from Gusty

Here I found the solution :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699693

This solved my problem:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) --reinstall

Hope this helps someone too.
Best regards,
PyrosBrother
