Bug#764471: [systemd] logind DBus GetSessionByPID() and GetUserByPID() fail

[Marcin Szewczyk]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: normal

logind DBus GetSessionByPID() and GetUserByPID() fail even though
ListSeats(), ListSessions() and ListUsers() work. loginctl returns a
list a of seats/sessions.

I suppose this is the reason why polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
fails to start with an error:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:4794): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Unable
to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 4794

This in turn makes it impossible to do things that policykit requires
authentication for.

My X11 stack (ps fax) looks like this:
/usr/sbin/lightdm
 \_ /usr/bin/X :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
 \_ lightdm --session-child 11 20
     \_ /usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE -e LXDE
         \_ openbox --config-file /home/wodny/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml

session optional pam_systemd.so is present in /etc/pam.d/common-session.

Probably the problem is related to bugs #728361 and #703016.

I use systemv for init. systemd-shim installed.
/sbin/cgmanager --daemon -m name=systemd is running.
