Running imwheel is not the problem, just running it after root has.
If I boot the GUI as root, it automatically runs imwheel (haven't found
the specific location to make it stop that yet), and when I leave the
windowmanager, it leaves the pid file in /tmp. With the pid file
there, imwheel won't run again, because it is convinced it is already
running.
No matter, I've given up on 7.1 and downgraded back to 7.0-2. It works
more reliably for me.
