Yes was a broken pipe message.

Still trying to sort this out. I have come across something else that I 
am not sure about. If I run ck-list-sessions I get

Session1:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = '(null)'
	seat = 'Seat2'
	session-type = ''
	active = FALSE
	x11-display = ':0.0'
	x11-display-device = ''
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2012-02-06T23:31:15.440354Z'
	login-session-id = '1'

There is nothing being shown in display-device. From what I have seen on 
the message boards and other things through google most seem to show 
something in there. I am using slim, openbox and .xinitrc could this 
maybe be the cause? I have seen people mention with it empty means 
console-kit broke on boot, but I could be reading about that incorrectly.

Thanks everyone.
