Hi ,

if you converted the question to a bug , might be the best solution.

I say that cuz you said " after recent up dates keeping returning to the login page" and this is important.

That means you didn't change anything or install anything to causing this problem.

If recent updates caused this problem then my mind goes to a bug.

Ok ,

there is probably a workaround for your problem .. like this

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

but this is not a fix. If above working is just a workaround.

Thanks
