Yeah.  We don't really know what to put here yet so it isn't used.

This is collected from the helper LIBEXEC/ck-get-x11-display-device.
So check the output of that.  And compare that to the tty value
reported by, say, ps: ps -eaf |grep Xorg.  Do they differ?

There must be a ConsoleKit aware idle monitor agent running in the
graphical session for this to work.  gnome-screensaver is one that
will work.  Text mode sessions are monitored directly by ConsoleKit.

Thanks for testing.
