Peter Hutterer 15460eaed2 systemd-logind: let the logind code decided whether to close an fd
We can only request one fd per device from systemd-logind. If a fd is re-used
by the same device, releasing the fd from one device doesn't mean we can close
it. The systemd code knows when it's really released, so let it close the fd.

Test case: xorg.conf section for an input device with hotplugging enabled.
evdev detects the duplicate and closes the hotplugged device, which closes the
fd. The other instance of evdev thinks the fd is still valid so now you're
playing a double lottery. First, which client(s) will get the evdev fd?
Second, which requests will be picked up by evdev and which ones will be
picked up by the client? You'll never know, but the fun is in finding out.

					X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
following article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
Xorg mailing list:
