I don't see anything obvious wrong in the logs.

Could you please describe very detailed, what environment you are using, if you
have local modifications regarding dbus/consolekit/policykit, what exactly you
were doing when you triggered this unexpected behaviour, if you can reproduce it
reliably (also after a restart)?

I'd also be interested in the contents of your /etc/ConsoleKit and /etc/dbus-1
directories (attach them as tarball if possible)

Thanks,
Michael
