I would like Ubuntu One to connect automatically upon login, is this possible?

The client should autoconnect when you login. I think there have been some problems with the client not being able to connect b/c of no network connection (before wifi completes the connection). If you don't see a bug on this, please open one. Thanks!

Thanx for the reply - just wasn't sure if it was meant to or not.

On my 32-bit Karmic Koala setup I notice that a display message appears on bootup, stating that Ubuntu One is attempting to connect/update. If internet access is unavailable when the system has completely booted, then Ubuntu One does not appear to automatically retry connecting when internet access does become available. Clicking the cloud icon at this time suggests that it is but there is actually no network activity.
