Bug#341360: sudo kwifimanager creates a root owned .ICEauthority which stops Gnome from logging in
Package: kwifimanager
Version: 4:3.3.2-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi DDs, I've found a bug where the command
sudo kwifimanager leaves a root owned .ICEauthority in the calling
user's home dir. This was stopping Gnome from logging in until
the .ICEauthority is deleted.
A similar bug about Gnome being unable to login is in bug #325701
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325701
I have been able to reproduce this behaviour on more than one Sarge
install.
bye
Ashley
