Sorry but I didn't say boot loader (grub). If I'm not mistaken a boot manager is a program running while booting your system and turns all services on (deamons, drivers, file systems etc...) and then directs you to the log-in screen where you type you username and password and the log-in to your system.
As I read, this package was changed and the old one used in Dapper was left behind. Look in ubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.org or search google and you'll find the info I just gave you. -- Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear... https://launchpad.net/bugs/55769 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
