As mentioned in my other mail, the patch in
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436702#c7>, applied to the
unpacked sources of gnome-desktop-2.22.0-1.fc9.src.rpm solved the
problem for me. I hadn't even noticed that other programs like
gnome-display-manager were affected, too.

As long as the typo/programming mistake isn't fixed, further releases
will encounter the same problem eventually.
