It is unlikely that anyone who is subscribed to this bug has tried a
clean reinstall with the packages from raring (I certainly haven't),
since if they had, they would probably have reported the result to this
bug thread. So I presume that what you (Kai Mast) really mean is "please
try again with raring packages"?

That's all very well, only up to now, the only action from maintainers
has been to suggest trying the latest version (resp. 11.10, 12.04, 12.10
and now 13.04), and none has addressed the precise description of the
problem, nor the apparent error in the location of the startup file.
That gives me no confidence that the original bug report has been
understood, or that when various people have said "it works OK for me",
the "it" is the same "it" as in the report, namely Rygel autostarting on
login (for example, "it" could also mean "system instance of Rygel
starting on boot").

Since it hasn't worked before on four occasions, and since the desktop
file is still apparently in the wrong place in the raring package of
Rygel, I see no reason to try again at least until I've installed raring
(which I will do when it's released), when it will be just a moment's
work. On the other hand, it would be nice to see the bug fixed in
raring, so if a maintainer would like actually to address the report,
rather than just saying "it works for me, try the latest packages", I'd
be happy to perform further experiments.

Let me be clear: the suggestion to simply try the latest packages is not
in itself a bad idea, and often has a place. The difference in this bug
is that the suggestion has already been made (without success) four
times, while no attempt seems to have been made to look at a diagnosis
of and partial solution to the actual problem.
