Thorsten,

Thanks for this.

This behaviour is configurable via RemoveIPC in /etc/elogind/logind.conf. See
man logind.conf(5).

I accept that the documentation for the behaviour is difficult to find (I had to
search quite hard) and it may be that the default ought to be different.

Perhaps you could confirm that this configuration change provides the behaviour
you want?

Many thanks.

Mark
