I was having the same problem, running with `gdmflexiserver -n -l`. I removed Network Manager from the GNOME Session for that user, and the problem went away.
Details: Ubuntu 7.04 running on an older Pentium 4 desktop Steps to reproduce (for me): 0. Logged in as main admin user "sandy". 1. Created regular (non-admin) user "test1". 2. Started GDM in XNest by running `gdmflexiserver -n -l`. 3. Logged in as user "test1". 4. Switched desktops a few times in the main X session (as "sandy"). Expected result: Desktops switch, and "test1" XNest window is stil there when I come back to the first desktop. Actual result: Desktops switch, but "test1" XNest window is blown away at some point during the switching, and is no longer there when I come back to the first desktop. I turned off GNOME Session programs one by one until the problem finally went away by removing Network Manager from the GNOME Session. Now I get the expected result after following the above steps. -- login in nested window dies changing workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
