From within IceWM, shutdown hangs likely due to the following error

2014-02-24T12:56:37.162910-08:00 BASE-MINIMAL-X-SERVER su: pam_systemd(su:session): pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; XDG_RUNTIME_DIR It looks like the XDG_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY points to a location with 0700 permissions so only the logged on User has access (root has no access). Am speculating that IceWM may be trying to shutdown using root permissions. "shutdown -h now" from a terminal succeeds, IMO likely because the command doesn't try to remove the session's User data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From within a MinimalX install 2. Click on the Main Menu (IceWM labeled object on panel bar) > Logout > Shutdown Actual Results: System hangs. Expected Results: System should execute a shutdown After the above steps, to obtain the error, I then opened a terminal and ran tail /var/log/messages Maybe the workflow order can simply be changed? ie execute removing the directory before actually shutting down system processes?
