[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#732646: consolekit: pam module does not open an active session

[Hans Freitag]

Package: consolekit
Version: 0.4.6-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I wrote a patch to the pam-ck-connector so that the created session is active, 
because I think this solves some of the bugs listed to the package. 

The bigest advantage is that you can use any Display Manager other than 
gdm again, by creating an active session via pam. The other DMs previously 
used ck-launch-session at user level but this is not possible anymore due 
to security risks. (see 597937) 

- I added the parameter active to the libck-connector0 library call to work 
  like described in the consolekit dbus description.
- I modified the pam module to launch an active session
- I added a nonactive parameter to the pam module 
- I updated the manpage 

You can find the patch on my webserver http://www.fnordpol.de/active_session_patch
The patch should be discussed with upstream. 

regards 

     Hans
