I can second that. Now i can see only one CK session, so the patch
works as intended. But I'm not able to shutdown/reboot or mount with
gvfs-mount and this if I log in through a tty using startxfce4.

I don't see why I have to use startx or add polkit configuration
files, really startxfce4 should just work<tm>! If I login through GDM
everything works fine (it already worked fine with it before, in my
case).

You are not alone, and this happens on ArchLinux.

I have restored "ck-l-s dbus-l" inside xinitrc and login through a tty
works fine as long as you don't use the pam_ck_connector plugin[1]
(make sure it is commented inside /etc/pam.d/login). Patch is updated
on bug 6690[2]. The "if" condition checks whether ck-l-s exists and
that a session isn't already launched, so running it through GDM is
safe.

I wonder what happens with Slim or XDM, but I'm not gonna test that,
this is just a random mess that Freedesktop has bring up :p

[1] NB: when using the pam_ck_connector plugin I have automatically an
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE variable set and a ck-session open (seen with
ck-list-sessions) but when reusing this session nothing was working
inside X, perhaps it has to do that the info for x11-display was empty
as displayed by ck-l-s...
