Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubiquity 1.10.7 prompts the user for step 5 (name, username, password, hostname, auto-login) when run from the .desktop file with the following preseed file:
d-i passwd/
d-i passwd/username string ubuntu
d-i passwd/
d-i passwd/
d-i passwd/
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string ubuntu
d-i mirror/
d-i mirror/
d-i mirror/suite string intrepid
When run from the command line, the expected behaviour is seen. Further, adding --debug to the .desktop file does not appear to produce debug output.

The cause of this bug is that kourou is not passing the arguments provided in the Exec: block of the .desktop file to the launched application. As a result, ubiquity is not being launched with the --automatic option, although the .desktop file clearly indicates this is the correct behaviour.
This was verified by modifying .desktop files for other applications with arguments and noting that the arguments were ignored on launch. Once kourou honours arguments, ubiquity should just work.
