I have just noticed this: I created a second account (administrative) and gave it a distinct desktop background. Both accounts were set autologin=NO. On rebooting from a complete power off (at the wall), I of course got the login screen, BUT if I dropped down to the second account, its distincti

More: creating a new 'test' account on the i5 machine and changing auto login to that account results in auto login working OK for 'test'. That seems to suggest that a fault has somehow arisen in my usual account's control files. I'm hoping someone will discover such a fault and how to correct it

Martin, thanks for that. I have just shut down my Dell Dimension 9150 U10.04 AMD64 with the speakers full on, got my head blasted with crackles as usual, and then booted from the alpha 3 U10.10 AMD64. Checked that sound was good, then shut down. Not a beep, crackle or hiss. Silent as the grave.
