This is a dupe of Bug 78661, and will unfortunately remain broken until March or something (GNOME 2.10 release). You can refer to the bug report for temporary workarounds.
Mark, your interpretations are not valued here, your work is (not seen any of it, but hey). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78661 ***
