--- Comment #1 from Stefan Hoffmeister <stefan.hoffmeis...@econos.de> ---
I am reporting this against kwin because of the implementation in `int
LogindSession::openRestricted(const QString &fileName)` with the origin of the
log entry evidently being

```
    const QDBusMessage reply = QDBusConnection::systemBus().call(message);
    if (reply.type() == QDBusMessage::ErrorMessage) {
        qCWarning(KWIN_CORE, "Failed to open %s device (%s)",
                  qPrintable(fileName), qPrintable(reply.errorMessage()));
        return -1;
    }
```

>From context it is clear that the _device_ exists (10 lines earlier, the `stat`
succeeds).

>From a user perspective, it may be beneficial to establish

* a _shorter_ timeout on the dbus call
* a mechanism for exponential back-off retries, capped to, say 30 seconds in
kwin_core, in trying to acquire the device

but I have no idea whether that is feasible at all.
