There are also other things to incorporate here like the XDG_SESSION_DIR stuff which could eventually replace our built in support to prevent DoSing from other users etc. (i.e. all the complex symlinking etc.). The XDG_SESSION_DIR was specifically pushed by Lennart who obviously knows all the problems PA faced, so it seems like a good idea. That said, I'm reluctant to push this as it will currently break NFS based non-systemd boots.... which isn't really ideal... It can be worked around however. That said, I suspect the OP was talking about system-wide mode anyway :p Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
