Bug#463535: logout hangs with libgtk2.0-0 2.12.5-2
I am ashamed to say my last two submissions weren't thoroughly tested. It
seames when I terminated the artsd process the first time I had also
terminated this process:
/usr/sbin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket
which was the real culprit. I have changed my STARTX is back to normal,
rebooted, tested to make sure I still had the smae problems, which is:
Logout/switch user/end current session/ restart/shutdown all lock up after
exiting the desktop.
Used webmin and killed only the
process: /usr/sbin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket
Checked e-mail, started ktorrent, etc...
locked session and logged into a root session. Did a few browsing things,
etc. Was able to end current session and brought back to my user session.
Logged in to locked user session. Ended session and was able to get back to
GDM. Logged in again and checked the process had not automatically started
again with all the session activity I had done. Then executed a
menu "reboot" which rebooted successfully.
Please reassign to whoever handles "acpid".
