I would just like to know more instructive things for users migrating from windows and stuff, I believe in things are better when they are simple or look simpler. But yes complexity is something that is also for one who for whom a person never gives up!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
