Unfortunately, it won't work in general.  It seems like some systems
add other info to PAM_TTY too.  I think we just need to ignore PAM_TTY
and only rely on the CKCON_TTY value.  If CKCON_TTY doesn't exist then
just call OpenSession().

Also, I'm considering splitting our display-device attribute into
display-device and x11-display-device to avoid any similar confusion
in the future.

Thoughts?
