In Oneiric, 'who' and 'w' report the logged in user, but only from an active open terminal. What this means for example, is that the asus-touchpad.sh script provided by acpi-support only works properly when run from a terminal. When the script is run by udev, 'who' does not report the logged in user, because lightdm, unlike gdm, does not currently seem to modify utmp/wtmp.
I will test a recent Precise daily-live as you have requested to see if this behavior has changed.
Bob,
Sorry for the delayed response.
