So, what you propose is to go IUSE="+suid elogind" on xorg-server for now, until elogind has full blown support, and then enabling +elogind in desktop profile? I am not a big fan of that, but for sure, that would address the issues, however I am really worried about what to do later with xorg-server. I *really* do not want suid to be enabled there by default permanently, if we go the following route, do you think it's feasible to then still default to +elogind -suid on xorg-server? I understood now that consolekit clash with elogind, but maybe it's something to handle on consolekit level, to block elogind from being installed? This way the users of default profile would defaults to elogind on xorg-server, and if they desire to use consolekit, they will need to add -elogind for xorg-server, and adding +suid if they do not use DM that starts X for them as root. -- Piotr.
