[Tareg Alsoudani]

Lock screen diappeared after installing gtk-qt-engine. installation might have nothing to with it. Also, I cannot change my status (All are dimmed).

Best regards,

which version of ubuntu are you using?

I am using ubuntu 9.1. Also, in case it is needed, below is the output
of uname command:

    Linux 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux

I had to use the Lock-screen panel applet as a temporary work around. To
restore the original indicator-applet-session configuration,, I had to
change to display manager to gdm and completely remove kdm. Now,
everything works as it was and as expected. It looks like there is a
conflict between kdm and the indicator-applet-session.

Best Regards,

Tareg

I'm on Lucid updated/upgraded about an hour ago and I've got the same issue here.

Linux tartarus 2.6.32-13-generic #18-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 10 21:32:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Indicator Applet Session 0.3.2

dpkg -l shows:
ii indicator-applet 0.3.2-0ubuntu3 GNOME panel indicator applet
ii indicator-applet-session 0.3.2-0ubuntu3 A clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet.

indicator-session is not really meant to work with a display or session manager other than gnome ones.

@Pangagiotis Issaris: can you confirm in which environment this issue occurs, ie with kdm or gdm?

[Tareg Alsoudani (tareg-alsoudani)]

This issue occurs in gdm environment. However, it appeared only after
setting kdm as my default display manager and logging into a gnome
display session. After resetting back gdm as the default display manger
and removing kdm, everything returned back to normal.
