Still happening in 16.04.
My setup is based on Ubuntu Server, login via xrdp in an xfce4 session, Active
Directory authentication enabled against a Windows Server 2003 PDC. The problem
happens with both local users and Active Directory users, right after login.
Thank you.

is still "auth_self" in accountsservice 0.6.40-2ubuntu10,
