I totally agree. This is purely a CRITICAL bug! An anecdote: I recently installed Ubuntu on a customer's home computer, as they had a giant spyware attack in XP and it was very cumbersome to reinstall XP so I figured Ubuntu would be better for this family's need. It worked (using a Linsta theme for their sake of recognition) fine until after the upgrade to Gutsy - now they say that what one can do in 1 hour in windows takes 7 hours in Ubuntu because it freezes and hangs all the time - and when I checked it out what it was about - they were referring to this particular problem. Solving it partially by leaving openoffice dead-ugly was not very elegant as well.
