Bug#612023: jackd1: Jack1/2 no longer run with Realtime permissions following update

[info at bandshed.net]

Success! sort of...

My apologies I thought the original bugreport indicated Squeeze, as for
the experimental JACK package...I'm sure you can guess why that would
be...no JACK Session in Squeeze.

Jack as root created a driver fine in dummy mode (appropriate mode for me)

Wow, it's the login manager SLiM!

Crossgrading to GDM fixed it, going back to SLiM breaks it. So you are
correct (as usual) jack not the problem but the indicator, however
something in that upgraded packages list (libc??) will break -RT
permissions for those using the SLiM login manager which someone should be
aware of.

thanks very much for your help on this, it is very much appreciated.
