Something's wrong here.

This means that $(NF) in that awk statement is ":0.0" for the last three lines,
so it should print "klaus" once and then exit.

The only way I see to not get the user here is if displaynum is not correctly
set. Could you please check that getXconsole correctly determines the display.

w is not an option as it truncates usernames.
