Ok, here's my idea: record ck-list-session, polkit-auth output and the aptitude log on every Xfce start and shutdown/restart. For start it's easy, I just use the autostart feature, but how could I do this for shutdown? Is there a specific command that is executed to trigger the shutdown/restart so I can create my own launcher? Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
