Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

I have, several versions ago, set a picture of me to be shown at the login screen (via About Me), but on Natty, about 50% of the time, it shows only the default "msn-like" generic image... not sure what triggers it, not sure how to reproduce, but the other 50% of the time, it shows my photo just fine.

is there a log file I can post? a test I can try?
