Fair enough. The next best situation for Hardy, would be to perfect my
workaround script /etc/acpi/local/lid.sh.pre (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-
manager/+bug/41994/comments/21 )
Currently the script detects the XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY environment
variables in this manner:
export XAUTHORITY=`ls -1 /home/*/.Xauthority`
export DISPLAY=:0
This is unreliable as I understand things (which may be wrong), since
with multiple concurrent logged-on desktop users ("switch users"), there
may be more than one .Xauthority file and more than one display.
How, in a shell script or similar, can I detect the currently active
console .Xauthority and currently active console display, even if there
are multiple concurrent desktop users logged in?
