I have dapper installed with Xubuntu Xubuntu-desktop installed and also
a clean install of Xubuntu.  On both, using http://localhost:631 things
go fine until the very end after actually selecting the printer driver
to use and then a login box is displayed.  I am assuming that this is
the point that the printer configuration is actually being written to
disk.
