Does not count time

[pickliotus]

Hello, I'm running a brand-new installation of Ubuntu 11.10.
I followed the workarounds for lightdm and unity reported elsewhere in this bug reports section, and so far users are successfully locked out of the login page if their time is up or they're outside their usage period. Also, the icon successfully displays in the dock. The problem comes in when clicking the icon. The remaining time displays correctly, but then, future testing reveals that the time has not been counting down at all. A bit of experimenting has shown me that when I look at relevant files (i.e., timekpr.log), it suddenly updates, but doesn't take account of the actual time that has elapsed, it merely subtracts an additional 45 seconds. As long as the file is open, it continues to subtract time correctly, but once it closes, it simply reverts to standing still.
The version gives:
timekpr:
  Installiert: 0.3.2~ppa1~ubuntu2
  Kandidat: 0.3.2~ppa1~ubuntu2
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 0.3.2~ppa1~ubuntu2 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Here is a look at the timekpr.log:
(note that all of the times when it says "configuration file for mike exists" are times when this file was opened.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I feel so close to having it work flawlessly.

Looks like duplicate of bug #881098 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/timekpr/+bug/881098), so apply patch from 881098 or just upgrade lightdm to new version.

Actually it is lightdm bug, not timekpr.
