@Sebastien, I can try to put together a list of applications that once you run them, you can do Ctrl-Alt-L and it works but this will take time and I fear it will be futile. Let me give you an example of applications you want to avoid when trying to reproduce this bug:
1) If you simply open up the network manager window after booting, you will not be able to reproduce this bug. 2) If you get a network manager notification after booting, you will not be able to reproduce this bug. 3) If you get a keyring notification, you will not be able to reproduce this bug. 4) If you simply open up System > Preferences Mouse you will not be able to reproduce this bug. To answer your questions - when reproducing do not start a nautilus window, but the desktop can load. gnome-panel can load but do not click on any items. As I have mentioned above, the specific steps to reproduce this are simple and have always given me the same result Please consider rebooting into a new user and testing this: -Boot into Jaunty -Without running any applications (or getting any notifications at boot) press Ctl-Alt-L If you can't reproduce this issue. I can record myself with my camera. @Toby, I was with Stefan when he showed me both issues. I recommended that he start a bug for each issue. As you can see, the description of the bug does not state anything about the "Locate Pointer" functionality. Stefan was confused when creating a bug, and so he created 2 similar bugs by accident. Please refer to Bug # 354790 as a duplicate of Bug # 9441 and please refer to this bug as dealing with the issue of locking the screen with the keyboard at startup. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - Ctl-Alt-L does not lock screen + Ctl-Alt-L does not lock screen immediately after startup -- Ctl-Alt-L does not lock screen immediately after startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
