Hi!

I am using systemd+lightdm. For some reason, console-kit stopped
working on my system. I am no longer registered in the list of
sessions after logging (ck-list-sessions is empty). However, I am
correctly registered with logind:

$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID
Id=5
Timestamp=lun. 2013-11-25 00:41:18 CET
TimestampMonotonic=44821763894
DefaultControlGroup=systemd:/user/500.user/5.session
VTNr=7
Display=:0
Remote=no
Service=lightdm
Leader=15734
Audit=5
Type=x11
Class=user
Active=yes
State=active
KillProcesses=no
IdleHint=no
IdleSinceHint=0
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0
Name=bernat

However, absolutely nothing works as expected. I am unable to run
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:

/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 --verbose

** (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:18484): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:18484): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Unable to determine the session we are in: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '18484'

And anything that requires an active local user just fails with
permission denied. It seems we are still massively using ConsoleKit. A
quick look at policykit-1 package shows that there is no dependency on
systemd. Therefore, I think that policykit is not able to speak with
logind. This makes the whole chain breaks.

I am filing this bug against systemd because I don't have anything in
hand for this problem. If the problem can be solved just by compiling
policykit with systemd support, please, reassign this bug.

I have also updated pamd files with pam-auth-update --force. No
change.
