I  think  the  problem  lies in  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90consolekit  which
considers that  when it is able  to get a display  number considers that
you are a local user. Since you  get a display number whatever you use a
graphical session, this seems not the right thing to do.

Maybe this script  should also check for GetX11DisplayDevice  which is a
tty if we use a local session and which is empty otherwise.
