Hi Gustav,

See if these messages coincide with starting x-sessions.

If so it is typical pam garbage letting you know that the console
(display :0) is owned by root and is now being passed to current user.

You could also try setting the display environment variable to :1 for that
user causing the error to see if it changes/goes away.

There is no danger. And everything should be working OK. Just remember pam
believes nothing should stop being owned by root without *at least* logging
it, even if it will still release the resource to the user.

But I could be wrong... ;)

Have fun,
--
