What do you mean by you 'hit init 5'? You shouldn't be able to run any
commands at that point as you're not actually logged in. If you just
mean you wait a while and then gdm comes up, you're probably hitting the
known bug with acpid:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629740 . I have a temporary
package which dodges that bug at
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/systemd_test_day_20100907/ (grab the
acpid package for your arch) - it may not be the exact fix the official
packager will use, but it's safe, and the next official package will
cleanly update mine.
