lirc, irexec and irxevent and multiuser system with power management

[Jarno S. <j_...@ya...>]

I use lirc 0.8.7 in ubuntu and I have this problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/387443
Is it a bug in lirc that the device name is changed?

How is lircd, irexec and irxevent supposed to work, if many users are logged in? 
I think it would make sense to restart lirc, irexec and irxevent daemons 
whenever current user changes, but it might be difficult.
