6972	Fix starting X with startx (from xinit) and sddm (with consolekit2 and upowerd) and somwhat related fixes	Fernando de Oliveira	Fernando de Oliveira	"We have investigated the functioning of X when started at runlevel 3 with ''startx'' and ''xinit'', from ''xinit-1.3.4'' and from runlevel 5, with ''sddm-0.12.0''.

Results are dependent on the ''vt'' (''tty'') where X will be executed, on the use of Consolekit2 and session d-bus. results were double checked by Bruce and Fernando.

Some tests failed in different forms, depending on the Desktop Environment. They have been performed with ''LXDE'' and ''LXQt'' by Fernando. Tests with ''XFce'' have been double checked by Bruce and Fernando.

Failing the right combination of commands to start X, several problems arises:

• ''Administrative tasks'' such as mount/umount file systems from file managers fail to authenticate.
• Some session ''exit options'' either disappear, or do not function at all or malfunction.
• X fails to start.

'''Independent''' results similar to ours have been obtained by Ken.

Due to those problems, we need to '''modify several instructions''' from packages and parts of the referred DE's.

At the moment, I recall:

1. xinit-1.3.4
2. sddm-0.12.0 (including bootscript)
3. ConsoleKit2-1.0.0
4. LXDE
5. LXQt
6. Xfce
7. KDE4

This ticket description may be improved with the collaboration of Ken, who has been discussing with us most topics here for many weeks in the -dev list and the collaboration of Bruce, who has been intensively exchanging information with me, privately.

Tomorrow, will increase detail, but please, you two can put the hands on at any time."	task	closed	high	7.8	BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
