Comment 2 for bug 484559

Ouch! Indeed, that was a side-effect of our recent patch that was not expected. The rationale for running gnome-about-me was that its way of changing your password allowed eCryptfs Private directory to be mounted with the new password: see bug 307019. Maybe the best solution for now would be to install gnome-about-me on Xubuntu - I don't think it has many dependencies.

James: How ironical - the more you solve bugs, the more you have to work on them... ;-)
