[ale] renice

edit your limits.conf file   (/etc/security/limits.conf)

Add a line like
myusername   -    nice   -10



This should do the trick.  Make sure you fall completely out of the top
most login (exit X and re-login)  for these limits to take effect.


I don't use ubuntu, but from the claims of another ale'r I'd guess that
they prepackage a limits.conf that has a @users line that allows higher
niceness.
