[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#714637: acpi-support: ACPI scripts can't correctly get UID of X display owner

[Denys Gavrysh]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.140-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

In some cases the getXuser() function from /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
file can't get the user for the X display and several ACPI scripts doesn't work properly.

I am using Slim display manager.
ck-list-sessions utility, which is used in getXuser(), reports "x11-display = ':0.0'"
instead of usual ':0' then ConsoleKit was started with Slim.
So, awk script in the function gives no output for 'uid' variable.

Here is a simple patch with workaround:
