I looked into the message (log) file and I wonder if the following is related on logging in: ====================================================== Mar 27 14:55:50 linux gconfd (dant-22310): starting (version 2.20.1), pid 22310 user 'dant' Mar 27 14:55:51 linux gconfd (dant-22310): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Mar 27 14:55:51 linux gconfd (dant-22310): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/dant/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Mar 27 14:55:51 linux gconfd (dant-22310): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Mar 27 14:55:55 linux pulseaudio[22319]: polkit.c: Failed to show grant dialog: Unable to lookup exe for caller Mar 27 14:55:55 linux pulseaudio[22319]: polkit.c: PolicyKit responded with 'auth_admin_keep_always' Mar 27 14:55:55 linux pulseaudio[22319]: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration.
