[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#639296: consolekit: Authorisation and startx

Package: consolekit
Severity: normal


I have a machine with an unstable install: the basic debian packages
plus the xorg and xfce4 metapackages. xfce4 is started with startx.
Inserting a USB stick and right-clicking its desktop icon presents a
'Mount Volume' option. Choosing the option gives 'Failed to mount ....
Not Authorized'. A data CD/DVD will get mounted but cannot be ejected
with the 'Eject Volume' option.

ck-list-sessions says:

Session1:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = 'Brian Potkin'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2011-08-25T16:54:51.244126Z'
        login-session-id = ''
        idle-since-hint = '2011-08-25T16:55:34.260180Z'
Session2:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = 'Brian Potkin'
        seat = 'Seat2'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2011-08-25T16:55:06.962920Z'
        login-session-id = ''

Replacing unstable's consolekit with the Squeeze package allows mounting
a USB device and ejecting a CD/DVD.
