Bug Description

This bug just started happening today 3/4/2015 when I updated my Ubuntu 14.04 system.
Immediately after entering password and hitting ENTER on the login screen, an unexpected dialog pops up.
It says, "Are you sure you want to proceed?" and there is a red exclamation point.
There is no other explanation on the screen what this is about.
If you click OK, login continues as normal.

I did a little sleuthing and found out what causes this. I have a .profile file that runs a command "xgamma -gamma 0.95". What I found was any command in the .profile file that produces any stdout, causes this dialog to appear. I redirected that command's output to /dev/null - that is, "xgamma -gamma 0.95 >& /dev/null". It still runs, and the dialog does not appear.

So, something in the latest update causes this dialog to appear at login whenever any command in .profile writes to stdout.

Hi,
Could you please provide fuel version ?
Clarify what login screen you mean (e.g. fuel or openstack horizon )?
