I'd like to reopen this issue. What you propose might be a fine workaround (haven't tried it yet, but I will), but it doesn't fix the serious usability issue behind this.
If a user NEEDS to be group 'gdm' to be able to *logout* (i.e., something that should be basic functionality for everybody!), then the system HAS to make sure that if I create a user with the Ubuntu/gnome tool, the user always is group 'gdm'. If it doesn't, that's a bug in my eyes. Better yet: simply allow every logged-in user to log out (I don't know the technical details, but it's obviously possible, as this (faulty) behavior is new in 7.10). Ubuntu 7.04 didn't have this problem. create user => user can log in, and can log out again. -- Gnome Logout button doesn't work for guest account https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145303 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
