    remove use of at_console in the D-Bus configuration file
    
    The main reason for this is that PolicyKit is used _anyway_ to control
    access to methods. And using pam_console to do this breaks when you
    try to e.g. run a power manager on the login screen as we're doing in
    Fedora 9 with g-p-m and the new gdm.
