Bug#1007711: reportbug: systemd --user: logoff and logon does not load new group memberships

[Ingo Wichmann]

Hi Michael,

I now dist-upgraded to bookworm/testing. I can't reproduce the issue 
there. On bookworm/testing, the old session is not reused.

So for bullseye/stable, possible workarounds are:
* reboot
* wait for the timeout to finish the session completely
* pkill -u $user (e.g. from a text-vt)

Yes, gnome-terminal.

But looking at the Ubuntu machine where I first encountered the issue, 
the session stays alive for a few seconds even when I don't start 
gnome-terminal.

I didn't wait long.
And yes, the user session was still active. That's why I filed the bug 
against the systemd package.

No.

Feel free to ask, if you want me to provide more detail.
