I was thinking earlier, pam-console maybe? It's quite evident I'm rather confused by this consolekit stuff. It became a requirement for xorg somewhere along the line and I have it installed (the 0.3.0 version you mention), but I've not touched the configuration at all as I haven't the foggiest, except that I know that despite starting it as a service, xorg still complains about it in that brief half-second or so before it switches to the X VT... and it's scrolled out of the buffer by the usual assortment of KDE complaints long before I get back to it, and doesn't appear in the xorg log. Despite the complaint, X still works, certainly the reason I've not spent more time on it. There's probably some documentation about it somewhere, but while I make it a point to read the elog messages, either I've a blind spot in that regard (entirely possible), or there's been nothing pointing out what it's all about. I feel like this is a bit of an abuse of the devel list for user issues... anyway, feel free to mail me directly or take it to the desktop list, which is somewhat topical at least. Or just point me to some documentation, and I'll shut up and read it and post any questions to the desktop list or whatever when I'm done. But bringing it back to development and thus on topic, if I'm missing the documentation, I'm sure others are as well. Maybe that's what I should file a bug on? As should be evident by now, I'm rather confused on the topic... but I guess having it so publicly demonstrated keeps me humble. =:^) But if I'm confused and I spend quite some time on trying to keep up with such things, what about the poor user that doesn't have that time to spend? -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
