Yes, it is reproducible. I've seen this 4-6 times so far. I don't know it there's anything to be done, I just log in and sometimes it happens.

[Imre Péntek (pentek-imre)]

I don't know if any of these are necessary to reproduce the bug, but I have aMSN at autostart, and this system was upgraded from 8.04

Hi all, I've had a similar thing happen to me a number of times, except part of the username takes over the shutdown menu and it becomes unresponsive to interaction. I've tried to watch for a possible way to replicate the bug but so far I haven't found one. It seems to occur randomly. Please see the attached screenshot. If I can provide any additional files that might be of help to replicating or fixing this bug please let me know.

I should say I'm running Lucid AMD64 with a Nvidia Geforce graphics card, not sure of the exact model.
