is "no" as a typical default for inactive sessions the right thing to do?

[James Westby]

Hi,

Many policies specify "no" for inactive sessions, which makes sense
given the name, but the behaviour of consolekit means that users
who log in over ssh are considered inactive, and so they cannot
use apps with such policies. This has a particular impact on
LTSP and NX users, as SSH is the primary way to access the machine,
and so they typically cannot perform any admin tasks using GUIs.

I'm unsure as to the rationale for this "default default", and wondered
if you could shed some light on it?

Thanks,

James
