Yes, please do something like this. If we'd found it earlier I would
actually nominate it as a blocker as violation of 'All applications
that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a
release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop
must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test.', but
I don't think I'm going to rock the boat and do it now. Having it as a
0-day update would be very good, though.
