Hi Stian!
I honestly have absolutely no idea what's going on here - I'm forwarding
this to debian-gtk-gnome in the hope that someone has seen this and will
know what's going on. If they don't, I'll chase it up myself, but I
currently don't have a 9700 Pro, nor a GNOME machine.

Thanks for the bug report.
