consolekit is installed.


Session1:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = 'Enrico Tröger'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = FALSE
	x11-display = ''
	x11-display-device = ''
	display-device = '/dev/tty1'
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2010-09-08T10:42:41.507107Z'
	login-session-id = '4294967295'
	idle-since-hint = '2010-09-08T12:13:46.014734Z'

(this is the only listed session)
Lately, with Nick's ck-l-s command in e/x/x/xinitrc, I got way
more sessions and always one with "active = True" which seems
to be a key requirement for things to work.

Maybe calling ck-l-s within xfce4-session is just too late?


Since ages, I start Xfce after logging into a console with
'startxfce4' and except the Policykit/Consolekit mess, it
always worked perfectly.

Just to clarify: I don't use Debian packages, running it all from GIT
master.

Thanks.
Done that exactly like this but it doesn't help.
Same result: no reboot/halt/mount.

Enrico

P.S.: sorry for the late reply. I sent this mail already on Wednesday
last week but somehow the mail didn't make it to the list.

Regards,
Enrico
