Re: [gentoo-catalyst] xorg starting wrong user permissions.

[Caleb Cushing]

I'd like to note that that really isn't the password I'm setting... I
changed that so it wouldn't be displayed here.

yeah I figgure the one line should handle both but it doesn't work...
I still have permission errors. should I maybe use the fsscript to
make the user instead of letting catalyst do it.
