I had a look. It seems that the getXuser function does not work.

If I try to manually execute getXuser it does not set XUSER or
XAUTHORITY in the environment

     # . /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
     # export displaynum=0
     # getXuser
     # echo $XUSER

     # echo $XAUTHORITY


The getXuser function takes the branch with ck-list-sessions (since it
exists on my system). This is used to extract the UID, but since
ck-list-sessions does not return anything $uid ends up being empty.

     # ck-list-sessions

Possibly, but if I understood correctly, it doesn't even get that far.
Everything fails because $user is not set in the beginning, and there is
no way to recover from that.
