ConsoleKit

[Gerhard Mourani]

Hello Erik,

Thanks for the information, I want to use ConsoleKit to control user 
permission once XFCE is loaded. User permission like being able to 
mount, umount cdrom, usb, ipod and have permission for regular users to 
read, write into the devices. ConsoleKit seem to be the latest 
technology from Freedesktop to do it with multiple login like remote 
login, user seat for example, etc. GDM is a Gnome API and if I want to 
stay with a pure XFCE + GTK2, I cannot install it as well as its 
numerous dependencies on Gnome libraries and other. There an alternative 
for XFCE called SLIM but this one is too simple and not enough evaluated 
to understand and talk with ConsoleKit. Therefore how to make this 
upcoming standards ConsoleKit run on XFCE to control users permission 
without GDM?

Gerhard,
