Comment 14 for bug 1027805

I agree with Jean-Daniel, this is something that must be adressed. While you now see any graphical log-in using 'who' and it lists users both at "tty7" etc, for graphical log-in, and as "pts/2" etc for terminal log-in, only the termianl sessions are seen with the "last" command.

That worked correctly with Ubuntu 10.04 (showed graphical log-in), now it is broken with 12.04 and lightdm. For anyone who is trying to diagnose security breaches or just general system screw-ups, it is a serious omission given that most users log-in via the graphical screen.
