thank you for your bug report. this seems like an upstream bug.
** Changed in: Ubuntu
Sourcepackagename: None = xorg
Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed
** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #362246
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=362246
** Also affects: xorg-server
note: a widespread remnant of this bug on ubuntu is this string in
users' (mine included) Xorg.0.logs:
~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep SecurityPolicy
error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
this is a file from xserver-common, not included with Ubuntu / Deb Unstable.
