After updating to x11-apps/xinit-1.3.4 (from 1.3.3-r1) I noticed that KDE did not display any of my system level leave options like shutdown, restart and sleep. This seems to be caused by a failure to hand off active session to X11. With x11-apps/xinit-1.3.4: kwhat@plutonium244 ~ $ ck-list-sessions Session1: unix-user = '1000' realname = '(null)' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = '' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '/dev/tty1' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2014-10-24T18:37:14.818549Z' login-session-id = '2' idle-since-hint = '2014-10-24T18:37:50.297350Z' Session2: unix-user = '1000' realname = '(null)' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty1' display-device = '/dev/tty1' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2014-10-24T18:37:24.903015Z' login-session-id = '2' With x11-apps/xinit-1.3.3-r1: kwhat@plutonium244 ~ $ ck-list-sessions Session3: unix-user = '1000' realname = '(null)' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = '' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '/dev/tty1' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2014-10-25T16:04:15.707987Z' login-session-id = '3' idle-since-hint = '2014-10-25T16:04:46.645400Z' Session4: unix-user = '1000' realname = '(null)' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '/dev/tty1' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2014-10-25T16:04:16.998397Z' login-session-id = '3' I am starting KDE with XSESSION via startx from a console login. It doesn't make a difference if I use .xinitrc or XSESSION. Reproducible: Always
I solved this problem by running 'startx -- vt7' This is upstream change related to systemd-logind: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xinit/commit/?id=44915d6953076849b69a017f6fc8234b0f254362
We could conditionally reverse this patch based on USE=systemd. startx.cpp doesn't change frequently, so hopefully that would not break often. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xinit/log/startx.cpp @x11 Opinions?

Yes it is already moved there. The change will reach the mirrors in an hour or so. The message itself is only cosmetic though, it should work as intended anyway.

Well not from X11 perspective, but from shell pov that displays a breathtaking level of incompetence in sh. It's truly *laughable* (as is CPP in that context at least.) If you want it reworked in correct shell, I'd be happy to help, but there's no point doing that when the upstream maintainers are so evidently incompetent in even the _basics_ of the language, ime, unless we're happy to maintain a correct version, until such time as they all "go to wayland" (as I keep hearing.) However I'm not prepared to put lots of time into fixing the crap if no-one's going to use the resultant output. Life's far too short for that nonsense. Good luck etc.
(In reply to Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn from comment #2) > We could conditionally reverse this patch based on USE=systemd. I see you went ahead and implemented this. If you want to reverse the patch unconditionally, that's fine too; we already handle the systemd issue in xserverrc.1: #!/bin/sh if [ -z "$XDG_VTNR" ]; then exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" else exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" vt$XDG_VTNR fi
Indeed startx would still work, but calling /usr/bin/X directly could fail. Let's leave it at that unless someone complains.
