Paul, You're quite right -- this appears to be fine with the 0.3.2-2ubuntu3 shipped in 9.04. I can only assume it changed during the last couple of updates. Chris -- libaubio.a (amd64) built without -fPIC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317864 You received this bug notification because you

This works somewhat better, but not entirely, for me in 9.04 (upgraded from 8.10). For example: start a new session, then run up Firefox, Emacs, Inkscape, Scribus and gnome-terminal, open documents in all of them (where applicable), replace metacity with my preferred window manager (which is not

My understanding from the GNOME bugtracker is that a fix exists, but is not included in 2.26.0 (hopefully in 2.26.1). This presumably means the fix will not be in 9.04, but is likely to appear in a subsequent update -- is that right? I see no mention of it in the known issues section of the

Per Sebastien's comment, I have added a couple of sentences about this to the Intrepid release notes. I trust that's OK. I think Martin Soto's assessment is spot on. It _is_ worrying that Ubuntu should (as a matter of policy) be so sanguine about this. It's also surprising that GNOME

At the risk of asking a really stupid question, does anyone have an idea whether there's any likelihood of a workaround such as installing and using the Gnome 2.22 session manager with 2.24? Or using a different session manager entirely? I don't mind hacking my system to get this to work,

I ended up downgrading gnome-session and gnome-panel to 2.22 as a workaround. It appears to be working OK so far. (You can't just downgrade gnome-session, because gnome-panel depends on the newer version to support essentials such as log out.) This is what worked for me. Start by adding the

I had this problem exactly as described in the original report, after an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. I eventually tracked it down to a dangling link from /etc/alternatives/x -session-manager. It was pointing to a nonexistent KDE4 startkde script, which presumably used to exist in 8.04. I had
