Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-control-centre

On my system, automatic login was disabled (probably because I purged mythbuntu-default-settings to get around another bug). Anyways, when i re-enabled it, the progress bar would hang and I'd get this backtrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/core.py", line 1052, in apply_pressed
    call_applicator(self,to_install,to_remove,to_reconfigure)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/core.py", line 1039, in call_applicator
    apply.commit_changes()

    os.symlink('/usr/share/applications/mythtv.desktop',home + '/.config/autostart/mythtv.desktop')
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

Once I "rm .config/autostart/mythtv.desktop", it works fine.

  * Detect amd64 and install w64codecs instead of w32codecs.

  * Catch broken symlinks when making autologin. (LP: #151258)
  * Properly toggle automatic login depending on desktop's
    installed, since this was broke an upload or two ago.
  * Don't update autologin user to [Disabled]
