I can't say -- this is just my personal experience. The two machines that are affected are 32-bit with nVidia video cards and proprietary drivers. The two that are not affected are using Intel video chips. I think it only affects Gnome-Panel and Evolution -- so it's a pretty selective bug to start with.
I have a batch of 32-bit diskless workstations, powered by a 32-bit server (all but one uses an Intel video chip, and the last is something else -- not nVidia), one regular workstation (don't think it is nVidia either). A 32-bit laptop with a ATI video chip and a 64-bit desktop with a nVidia video chip, but NOT the proprietary nVidia driver (I have no use for 3D accel and refuse to mess with nVidia's proprietary drivers). All of these machines are still at CentOS 5.5, but I'd like to update them to 5.6. Oh, the laptop and the 64-bit workstation are *my* machines and *I* don't use *any* desktop manager (neither GNome nore KDE) on either machine.
Oh, no one uses Evolution on any of these machines (one person uses Thunderbird).
Again, I'm merely asking others whether this bug is selective as far as video chips go pr not (I'm trying to find a pattern).. Don't not come to any conclusions based on my four machines.
