Well then. Looks good. I guess I missed the discussion on that.

Nope. Don't differ. Odd. It says tty8 but Ctrl-Alt-F8 and I have nothing
there.. Ctrl-Alt-F7 and there's my X.

hrm. I'm running GNOME 2.18 on that machine with gnome-screensaver and
it didn't do it. I'll try it on my GNOME 2.19/2.20 machine and see if I
get different results. Could be something new-ish/er in gnome-screensaver?

No problem. Works great so far. Keep up the good work. As a side note,
were you going to register ConsoleKit as a top level Freedesktop
project? or just create some webspace under the HAL project?
