Public bug reported:

Since upgraded to 16.10 Yakkety, modifications in
/etc/security/limits.conf are not taken into consideration when logging
in the graphical interface.


/etc/security/limits.conf:
@audio   -  rtprio     99
@audio   -  memlock    unlimited

I tried the same settings in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf, to the
same results.


After logging in Unity, opening a console, the limits are not set:
blablack@ideaon:~$ ulimit -l -r
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 64
real-time priority              (-r) 0


Reloging to my user via bash DOES apply the limits:
blablack@ideaon:~$ ulimit -l -r
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 64
real-time priority              (-r) 0
blablack@ideaon:~$ su blablack
Password: 
blablack@ideaon:~$ ulimit -l -r
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) unlimited
real-time priority              (-r) 95


Switching to a console (ctrl+alt+f1) and logging in would apply the limits as 
well.


The exact same setup used to work fine on Xenial 16.04 before upgrade.


If you need any more information, please let me know.
