I found that by booting using Debian Squeeze with the user home directory in a partition shared by Debian and Ubuntu, doing the set up in Debian and rebooting in Debian, the configuration was saved. Booting to Ubuntu then used the save state. So the problem appears to be lack of state saving in Ubuntu rather than jsut using defaults.
I use Unison to mirror my home directory between laptop and workstation so that technique cured the problem ont he workstation without having to load Debian at all. The problem is therefore home directory state information with Debian getting it right and Ubuntu not. -- Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
