I cannot explain the problem if you have done a purge and then an install.

I have experienced such idiosyncrasies with all distros but more so
with *buntu.   Feature A works on 3 machines and does *not* work on
the 4th machine!

I ran all my desktop on openSUSE until 11.4.   With systemd issues in
12.1,  I switched to Kubuntu.   I am running 12.04 on a few desktop
and I see behavioral differences (all fresh installs from the same DVD
media)

I have decided to convert all my desktops to Debian.
