It used to be a terrible issue with consolekit or whatever it was called. Or is that still one of the problems? 1. Boot to a VT. 2. Login at VT. 3. startx by sourcing a script that logs out of the VT after the startx, as that login is now unneeded. 4. Have sound and various other device permissions break as there's no active login, despite X and all its apps otherwise running normally. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
