I had this same problem, I found that restarting the X server would make gnome-do work properly.
Tomi's comment was helpful, I think I fixed it by going to System->Preferences->Startup Applications and removing the gnome-do entry. After a reboot, the problem appears to have been resolved. -- gnome-do cannot find anything, providing only error message in console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
