[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#678506: consolekit: Rejected send message: type="method_call", interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties"

[Bill Wohler]

And I have been getting the following since I upgraded to wheezy:

Sep 30 07:26:41 olgas dbus[3436]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.65" (uid=1000 pid=5909 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.18" (uid=0 pid=4275 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon ")

I will try your patch. What are the security considerations?
