/usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs getXuser returns wrong $user

[Christian Luiijten]

Line 8:
        user=`who| grep " :0" | awk '{print $1}'`

Gets incorrect username when that username is (originally) longer than 8 chars,
since 'who' only displays the first 8 chars.

Seb, is there any chance we can have a file in a known location created when a
user logs in and with the name of that user? That way we can figure out who owns
the X session rather more reliably.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

What happens when a second user logs in to the same system?

utmp seems like the most reliable source for this data.

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

This is now fixed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

ups, I've zapped the previous comment. Nice it's fixed, but was that a gdm bug?
