I too upgraded today from 11.04 to 11.10 and this is an issue for all of my user accounts too. I haven't changed any user IDs or group IDs, nor have I added or removed or changed users or user group memberships. I didn't do anything but upgrade to 11.04 to 11.10. My installation is completely up to date and there's nothing left to do in the way of installing new updates -- so this bug isn't fixed. It's very much alive and kicking for me.
