Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

Hi Pedro,

it's still in the deamon log:
Jun 22 07:14:40 PC15-17 gdm-binary[1147]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found

I am running 10.04 LTS. I do not want to upgrade to Natty on this machine.

As such it is "still an issue". However: there seems to be no other ill effect; there is just this message in the log.

Also experiencing these errors in out set-up.
Re-opening and confirming because, although there are lots of bugs that mention this specific error, most of all it's just noise about some other bug. This appears to be the only (Ubuntu) that specifically raises this as an issue.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668233 appears to be the same on Red Hats bugzilla, but contains no relevant information so far.

There is also an old bug that seems to (somewhat) mention this error here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545267 and it even contains a patch for dbus, but this is untested.
