Update - I've nailed one problem - starting as other users was due to
PAM changing the permissions on nvidia devices.

Fix it as follows (assuming gentoo files might be different for other distros)

edit /etc/security/console.perms

comment out all lines with <dri> in them then reset the permissions on
nvidia devices by running

chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*
chown root /dev/nvidia*

Will let you all know if I manage to sort out the open dialogue issue.

Cheers,

Alan.
