There is an option to logout anyway. If I choose that, it logs out
successfully.
This behavior seems to only occur after the first time I log in.
The first time after a reboot, everything happens as expected -- desktop
icons appear and logout goes without a hitch.
This is a test machine, so I can load experimental software on it if necessary.
Well, no need for experimental. Does it still happen if you upgrade
nautilus and gnome-session to the unstable versions?
Cheers,
Sadly, that did not help.
I put this into /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "testing"
and added "sid" to my /etc/apt/sources.list, which now looks like this
rbtho...@greybox:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib
deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
non-free
then did
aptitude update
and
aptitude -t unstable install nautilus gnome-session
which replaced nautilus and gnome-session and a dozen or so other packages
that they depend on.
But after a reboot, there was no change in the desktop's behavior.
Just as a check that I have the correct versions installed...
rbtho...@greybox:~$ aptitude -vv show nautilus | egrep
'^(Version|Archive): '
Version: 2.28.1-1
Archive: unstable
Version: 2.28.1-1
Archive: now
Version: 2.26.3-1
Archive: testing
rbtho...@greybox:~$ aptitude -vv show gnome-session | egrep
'^(Version|Archive): '
Version: 2.28.0-4
Archive: unstable
Version: 2.28.0-4
Archive: now
Version: 2.26.2-1
Archive: testing
Got anything else you want me to try?
Rick
