Package: slim Version: 1.3.0-1 Severity: minor slim should register and deregister X sessions by default. Doing so makes handling things such as lock-on-suspend (via ACPI scripts, for example) easier to implement; if the session is not registered and no X terminals are open (i.e. no ptys are open), then eeepc-acpi-scripts (for example) cannot find the owner of the X session and promptly falls back on root, thus causing the likes of xtrlock to require the root password.
I'm currently using these two lines in my /etc/slim.conf: sessionstart_cmd exec sessreg -a -l :0 %user sessionstop_cmd exec sessreg -d -l :0 %user This is sufficient to prevent the problem; unless this is fixed soon, either by fixing slim or providing a better X session detection method for eeepc-acpi-scripts, I will make sure that this is noted in debian/NEWS for eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.0. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
