Since I'm using the 'sleep' for my' boinc after gdm delay' I just added the xhost + in front of that to get:
start() { log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME" if is_running; then log_progress_msg "already running" else xhost + sleep 5 /home/skip/setfan.sh start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $PIDFILE \ --make-pidfile --user $BOINC_USER --chuid $BOINC_USER \ --chdir $BOINC_DIR --exec $BOINC_CLIENT -- $BOINC_OPTS fi log_end_msg 0 Disregard the setfan.sh it just uses aticonfig to jack up the fan speed on the card and bury the messages. Thought maybe "xhost + boinc@" might work. It didn't, but then I've never touched xhost before. As long as a user stays logged on this seems to work fine. Which, BTW, is not a requirement my nvidia GPU'd machines. They don't have users logged on and maintain communication with the driver w/o issue (startup is sometimes an issue if no monitor is plugged into it depending on how xorg.conf is set up).
