Hi all, I would like like to setup acpid to automatically launch the gnome-session-save program when the power button is pressed (and gnome is running). The problem is that when I run from the power-button associated script the command: sudo gnome-session-save --gui --kill I get this message in a GTK error window dialog: "Could not connect to the session manager" I've tried this either running sudo with the identity of the owner of the gnome-session user with: sudo -u <gnome username> gnome-session-save --gui --kill getting the same result. I'm using gnome-session 2.14.3 (Debian unstable). How can I convince gnome-session-save to execute the command launched by root? Is there another system to shutdown automatically and gently gnome (maybe sending some signal to the gnome-session process)? Thanks in advance for any help.
