That looks OK.  Tried creating a newer user, same problem.  Interestingly I installed Lubuntu on ye olde laptop using the minimal install method and got the same problem.  I have now done a new install on the original machine and all looks good so far.  I don’t think this is worth worrying about too much at this point in the cycle.  Unless others have the same problem.
