I just discovered a problem with lightdm+xfce (probably also affect lightdm+lxde). Logged in users are not registered in utmp, and thus do not show up in 'who', and the killer package assume the processes of the logged in user are left behind from some not logged in user and throw out the user every hour. I believe kdm get it right. Not sure about gdm3. Dropping the killer package will cause lots of left behind processes to slowly cause the clients to become slower and slower, and thus do not seem like a great alternative either. But making it impossible to work for more than an hour is a killer. Any ideas? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
