The majority of RPi users don't seem the know about Usenet and don't come
here, so I suggest you take a look at the main bug reporting site,
https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs

You can search it without having the log in: somewhat counter-
intuitively, you click on 'Report a bug' to get access to the bug search
tool.

However, a search on 'GL desktop' found only one bug and that wasn't
relevant to your problem, so I suggest you set up and account and report
your problem as a bug. FWIW they seem to be using Ubuntu's bug database
under some sort of guest arrangement and this isn't the usual Bugzilla
tool I'd expected to see.
