Hi again,

I have a possible solution now, which works a bit differently, please see the
attached 90consolekit:

The idea is:
Run ck-launch-session in 90consolekit, when the following conditions are met

ck-launch-session is available (i.e. consolekit package is installed) and
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is not set

or

ck-launch-session is available, XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is set, but the session has
no X11 device (i.e. it is a console session)

The latter check is implemented (rather hackishly) via a few dbus-send calls.


Please test and let me know if it works for you.
If you run startx from the console (with or without libpam-ck-connector
enabled), you should get an X11 session.
When you use gdm/kdm, you should *not* get double ck sessions.

Cheers,
Michael
