Don Doumakes, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2209 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Tags added: regression-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876099 Title: Multiple users hijack each others' windows in 11.10 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Under 11.04 using Gnome 2, I could have a Gnome session as one user, open Firefox, do business related browsing. I could also open a terminal, xhost +, su to a different user, and open a different Firefox process for hobby related browsing, different set of bookmarks, different home directory and all that. It was convenient. Now that I've upgraded to 11.10, the behavior is different and confusing. User A opens a Firefox window, no problem. Open a terminal, su to user B. User B starts up a Firefox process from the command line. Output of ps clearly shows two independent processes (i.e. one is not the parent of the other). A new Firefox window appears, but gets User A's bookmarks and other configuration, as if user B were simply opening a new window in user A's original process.
