Bob,

Sorry for the delayed response.

In Oneiric, 'who' and 'w' report the logged in user, but only from an
active open terminal. What this means for example, is that the asus-
touchpad.sh script provided by acpi-support only works properly when run
from a terminal. When the script is run by udev, 'who' does not report
the logged in user, because lightdm, unlike gdm, does not currently seem
to modify utmp/wtmp.

I will test a recent Precise daily-live as you have requested to see if
this behavior has changed.

Best,

Harvey
