xfce4-session-logout from acpi script

[Joost Kremers]

hi all,

another question regarding my eeepc... pressing the power button on this
machine triggers an event that's registered by the acpi daemon. so i
thought i could have a script run xfce4-session-logout, but this doesn't
work because it cannot connect to the display. i'm guessing because it's
not running as the correct user.

i tried a couple of things (using su, setting DISPLAY, xhost) but nothing
works. is there a way to make this possible?

TIA
