This problem started to occur on 7.1 and was still present on the 7.2
beta 1. I expected that it would not re-occur with beta 2, but in spite
of the selection of pretty faces for different users I can only log on
to root. I cannot see how I could be setting up the user information
differently. Even if I try to introduce a different user after the
initial set-up process the problem remains. It is also a problem if I do
a level 3 start and login from the keyboard.
I would be very interested to know how to get round this.
