Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
After installing Lucid Lynx, I created a second account for my wife,
using the User configuration tool from the System -> Adminstration menu.
I gave the second account _all_ possible permissions, access wireless,
adminster the system etc.
After restarting and logging into my wife's account, I notice that
wireless is not working, an no wireless status is shown in the top
panel. Manually starting 'nm-applet' from a terminal fixes the problem.
Also startup sound is not played. So I check the auto-start settings
(System->Preferences->Session, or how it is called in the english
Ubuntu; i.e. gnome-session-properties executable). Adding a new test
entry (xterm) does not have any effect on new logins.
Using 'pstree' I compare the running programs on the primary system
account created at installation, and my wife's account. This shows a
grave difference. The primary account runs the following programs under
gnome-session:
-wor-+-gnome-session-+-bluetooth-apple
| |-compiz---sh---gtk-window-deco
| |-evolution-alarm---{evolution-alar}
| |-gdu-notificatio
| |-gnome-panel
| |-gnome-power-man
| |-ibus-daemon-+-ibus-gconf
| | |-python
| | `-{ibus-daemon}
| |-nautilus
| |-nm-applet
| |-polkit-gnome-au
| |-python
| |-ssh-agent
| |-update-notifier
| `-{gnome-session}
`-{gdm-session-wo}
Under my wife accounts, the output of 'pstree' only lists:
-session-wor─┬─gnome-session─┬─gnome-panel
│ ├─metacity
│ ├─nautilus
│ ├─ssh-agent
│ └─{gnome-session}
└─{gdm-session-wo}
