[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#544483: consolekit: Should write its status to a memory-backed FS

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: consolekit
Version: 0.3.0-3
Severity: minor

Hello,

I noticed that with console-kit-daemon started, each time I switch to
another console, it writes its state to disk.  This limits a lot the
possibility to save laptop power while e.g. reading documentation over
several consoles.  Couldn't consolekit rather write its status to a
memory-backed FS, like /lib/init/rw?
