gnome-about-me picture does not appear at login

[TC]

I'm using Ubuntu Karmic Alphpa 4 and under System/Preferences there is a tool called "About Me" (i.e., gnome-about-me). In the upper left-hand corner there is a "Select your photo" option that allows you to set a picture for your profile. However, when I select a photo (picked one from the list presented to me), I still get the same default icon at the login screen instead of the one I selected.

I enabled encrypted home folders at install if that matters.

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in PKGNAME.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Thanks, arky. I did attempt to identify the package name using apport (I thought that was the Alt-F2 option where I entered ubuntu-bug gnome-about-me), and the Help menu function doesn't exist in the application. I used the System Monitor utility to find the name of the process which is why I labeled it as gnome-about-me as that is what was listed in System Monitor. I also Googled for gnome-about-me and also went to the Ubuntu package list website to try to find the correct name of the package, but could not find it. If you could provide other steps for me to identify the package name, I would be glad to find and report that name.

Thank you.
