Comment 2 for bug 331264

I seem to have the same problem, except that I cannot get startx to remain logged in after starting on the console. I am using xubuntu 9.04 (just updated earlier this evening. I was typing in another window when a dialogue popped up and stole the input focus, so I only saw it flash on to the screen in a flicker and have -no- idea what it said or what got selected).
