not authorized when suspensing, but not when logged in from terminal

Hi All,

I have the following line in my inittab, to start an X server for the user "cedric"

x:5:once:/bin/su cedric -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"

This works great, my X server is started during the startup of the rest of the services. when I then try to mouns an USB stick, suspend or reboot the machine, I get the message "Not autorized"

When I then kill X, login from a terminal, and then start X, everything works great, I can mount USB sticks, and suspend my machine from the lxde session without any problem, the message "not autorized" never comes up anymore

What have I missed in the iniitab line above? Is there a better way to autostart the X server? How can I debug these messages?

Best regards,
Cedric
