Warning for Gutsy beta users . . .

[integr8e]

Just a warning for Gutsy beta users, DON'T hit shift-backspace; I'm not shure exactly what it does, but it seems to exit the main screen and display the Login background. Heh, is this a bug or is that supposed to happen? If it's supposed to happen, how do I get back to the main screen?

Do you have XGL ?


If yes, then (maybe) this

Howto : Fix SHIFT + BACKSPACE BUG

I'm sure that one of the most frustrating bugs in dapper when you install XGL, probably through poofy's guide is the SHIFT + BACKSPACE bug, which will restart your X.

And seems that this is still bugging Gutsy:

xserver-xgl on gutsy doesn't work
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...gl/+bug/136598

Xgl is started everytime you start an xsession (changed in the new version). From the changelog:
* debian/00xserver-xgl_session-start
+ Wrapper script to automatically add appropriate accel options to Xgl,
make it fail to launch under some drivers that won't work, add
appropriate cookie to xauth, and set DISPLAY.
+ Use xmodmap to disable shift-backspace killing Xgl
+ Install into /etc/X11/Xsession.d to automatically start Xgl (LP: 122939)
+ Start Xgl first so other session scripts such as seahorse get the right
DISPLAY

I don't have problems with shift-backspace (don't have XGL).
