So if you follow the breadcrumbs on that you now wind up at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651547

which seems to suggest it ought to be fixed at least in F17. The commit
is after 3.2 went stable, so unless it was specifically backported to
the 3.2 branch, it's probably not fixed in F16.

So can people confirm that it's fixed if they test F17 Alpha? Matthias,
would this be considered too big a change to backport to 3.2?
