you shouldn't use that setting, g-k-d is started through the PAM module so that no additional password needs to be entered to unlock it. It also needs to be initialized from the session and I suspect something isn't working right there (either the xdg autostart or session startup script) but I haven't had the time to investigate it yet. Feel free to open a bug to track this, it'll be needed anyway for a SRU. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
