To check if this is a bug or a configuration error, you should move the following configuration folders. This will cause Gnome to regenerate configurations as if this was the first time you logged-in

mv .gnome .gnome-bk
mv .gnome2 .gnome2-bk
mv .gnome2_private .gnome2_private-bk
mv .gconf .gconfig-bk
mv .gconfd .gconfd-bk
mv .metacity .metacity-bk

If your issue goes away, it maybe related to an upgrade of gnome or a configuration error. If your issue continues, seek support in ways suggested on ubuntu's website.

To delete old configurations

rm -rf .*-bk

You will have to provide more information, regarding 'what didn't work'. Your issue still continued after removing or moving previous configurations? – Ash Palmer May 25 '10 at 6:28
