nvidia-glx (180.44-2) to 185.18.14-1


After a while, I want to produce the backtrace for you, so I update 
gnome-session and gnome-setting-daemon to the latest avaiable version

Commit Log for Tue Jun 16 20:48:45 2009


I seguenti pacchetti sono stati aggiornati:
gnome-session (2.22.3-3) to 2.26.1-7
gnome-settings-daemon (2.24.1-3) to 2.26.1-2

I seguenti pacchetti sono stati installati:
gnome-session-bin (2.26.1-7)
libglib2.0-0-dbg (2.20.3-1)

But after that all work correctly. Today I remove libglib2.0-0-dbg and 
all still works... so I seem like that something upgraded yesterday 
solve the problem.

My only "problem" now, is that I can't shutdown the machine from my 
gnome-session even if I have already enable myself using the 
"Authorization" software... what do I miss?

Thanks a lot
Giovanni
