Turns out I used JACK a little longer ago than I initially realized.) I think it should be pretty easy to fix this: 1) we should generate a single file that is used for generic session settings. 2) all login programs (including gdm) should include that file in their PAM settings. 3) the pam-limits-service should extend that single file instead of attempting to update a bunch of PAM files for a selected list of programs. -- Ricardo
