Hi,
how do I prevent the dvd drives from being polled by udisks-daemon? I
can kill the process and it becomes a zombie, and I'd rather get rid of
it.
This polling is something I really don't need or want! What else like
this is going on, and how do I disable it?

Cinelerra is not in Debian, and I haven't been able to compile it, so
the only source for it is dmo. You can't even watch a DVD with what's

It's not my misunderstanding. Since a while, 32bit support is gone with
no way to get it back, and if I didn't have a 64bit alternative that
half-way works, I wouldn't have Debian anymore.

Looking at the fbcondecor site[1], you probably want to investigate the
fbcondecor_helper program.
Alternatively,
Argh. I recall having similar problems. It might be the screensaver process
segfaulting. Is there anything useful in ~/.xsession-errors?

You've got a horrible race condition in there just waiting to bite
