You're welcome. AFAIK, running X on the VT where you're logged in is the standard logind/systemd way; logind is different from consolekit in that a login via getty is a logind-authenticated session so there's no need for a binary that's equivalent to "ck-session-launch". So if you don't pass your current VT to xinit, a new terminal's allocated and you won't be logind-authenticated on it. I've just had a thought as I'm typing so this is untested and might be total bull but if you run 'su -l <user> -c "xinit -- vt<not_the_current_vt_num>"' or 'sudo -u <user> "xinit -- vt<not_the_current_vt_num>"' you might have a logind-authenticated session for the X terminal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
