Yeah it would be if I had a fedora install handy, but I don't which is why I asked :) > I can't write the docs for something I don't understand, and I'm too > busy trying (and presently failing) to track down bugs in X, the kernel > and KDE to spend time documenting this right now, particularly since it > seems to be mostly GNOMEish, and GNOME and I get on like oil and water. Consolekit is certainly not GNOME-ish IMO. It's quite low level and interacts with udev to write device node ACLs etc. It very much applies to all DEs. I don't know about the background, so perhaps it was driven and proposed by the GNOME camp as a means to an end, but that doesn't make it something that KDE folks can ignore now that it's part of the lower level building blocks. > At some point I also have to track down the PA client lib bug which is > still causing me frequent hangs...
