[Inx] Links2 -g | xlinks2 issue solved

[Peter Garrett]

Hi,

I finally managed to get xlinks2 to run without suid root from INX
menus, as opposed to "from a prompt". The solution involves a wrapper
script that runs a loop in the background, then foregrounds itself when
xlinks2 exits.

It's a bit round-about, since xlinks2 is itself a wrapper 
(exec links2 -g "$@" )

Seems to "work" though, with /dev/fb0, /dev/input/mice and /dev/tty0
owned by group "video" (of which user "inx" is a member.)

The script is here:

Apologies for the truly ugly LP URL...

Latest complete rev. of all scripts and functions is at
