Unfortunately, I don't know which package this bug should belong to, but I'll try to describe the issue the best I can. I'm using KDE and I have a widget on my panel to switch users. After a recent system update (less then 1 week), the "New Session" button doesn't work. (In this case "doesn't work" means that absolutely nothing happens when I click on it. Even the rolldown menu stays there.)

I have now added the following to /etc/portage/package.use: x11-misc/sddm elogind After reinstalling sddm and rebooting, it works now.
If you decide to switch to elogind, you should set USE="-consolekit elogind" globally. See also: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #3) > If you decide to switch to elogind, you should set USE="-consolekit elogind" > globally. > > See also: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. However, I wouldn't consider this truly resolved as it _should_ work with "consolekit -elogind", no? Is there something I could do to help reproduce/debug this issue? (I assume you tried it, but you couldn't reproduce it.)
