GDM looks just looks in the libexec directory that it is configured to use. Since both ConsoleKit and GDM configure libexec to be /usr/lib on Solaris, they both work fine. So, to make it work with a different directory, I'd either need to configure GDM to also use /usr/lib/ConsoleKit as its libexec directory, or fix the ConsoleKit pc file to expose what libexec directory it is using and then fix GDM and any other modules which need to access ConsoleKit's libexec files to lookup the directory from the ConsoleKit pc file and use that instead. Not a huge amount of work, though it tends to be slow-going getting such changes upstream. >> Therefore, I do not plan to make this change unless it would otherwise >> cause a TCR/TCA. > > I don't think it's worth a TCR, would just be nicer to be consistent. I do agree, and will work to address this issue at some point. If you would like to file a bug against ConsoleKit so I do not forget, that would be helpful. But I think we can treat this as a bug, since it is not worth a TCR. Brian
