You need to use ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session dbus-launch is needed if gnome-session is run from command line afaik ... http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/gnome/gnome-session.html as you see there is full command in the configuration section. To get valid session id, you need to use pam_loginuid and pam_ck_connector in system session OR in login configuration file (the consolekit pam adition) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
