Ok, I'm not sure about this.

Investigating bugs on Xfce environment, we ended up with the summary
that:
- everything usually works fine from display manager
- on console, it depends wether you have or not libpam-ck-connector

If you have it, 90consolekit won't be run even if you want it, and you
don't have a working consolekit setup after startx, because the
consolekit authentication is not propagated to the X tty

If you don't have it, the console doesn't have consolekit auth, but if
you use startx only, 90consolekit will be run and you correctly have the
auth stuff in X.

I don't really know about consolekit, but I don't really think
libpam-ck-connector should be that problematic and “prevent” desktops to
work correctly.

Either the auth propagates from console to X tty, and everything is fine
wether you have libpam-ck-connector or not, either it doesn't, and then
(I think) it's fine to run ck-launch-session in 90consolekit.

What do I miss here?

Cheers,
