Hi,

on package updates of elogind its service gets restarted. This crashes
my sway session. I will try tomorrow to reproduce this to get a proper
log.

Matthias,

Thanks for this.

Hmmmm, this should not have been an issue since upstream issue
https://github.com/elogind/elogind/issues/104 was resolved.

I certainly tested this with xorg and had no issues. I suppose libseat with the
elogind backend may behave differently.
