I have those versions and reinstalling libc6 and immediate reboot did
not show the problem so i think that is not it.  Strangely running
your command seems to have changed my logon in some way.  My
background image used to appear very soon after logon before it
started my startup apps.  Now it displays a mud brown screen while it
starts the apps and then draws the image.  Very odd.  I am using
Unity-2d which might be an issue with that.  I suppose that might be
an issue with hibernate, that had not occurred to me.

In fact I think hibernate does not do much for me anyway, I was just
experimenting, so I think I will steer clear of it for the moment.

Thanks for the help
