Looks good. I've done some testing here with gdm-2.18 and gdm-2.19.8 as
well as the pam_ck_connector

Just have some feedback on a few issues.

$ ck-list-sessions
Session2:
        uid = '5000'
        realname = 'Doug Goldstein'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = TRUE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty8'
        display-device = ''
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2007-09-19T13:19:20Z'
Session3:
        uid = '5000'
        realname = 'Doug Goldstein'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2007-09-19T13:40:06Z'
        idle-since-hint = '2007-09-19T13:40:36Z'

Session2 is via gdm 2.18 and Session3 is via pam_ck_connector.

1) You'll notice that session-type is never populated.
2) x11-display-device seems to be wrong a bunch of the time on both
machines I've tested it on. i.e. right now X is running on tty7
3) idle-since-hint never appears to be set for X sessions. Now I know in
this case it's not possible because I'm currently active on X to send
this e-mail. But I've switched to console and let it sit there for 20
min while I went to do something else and then checked ck-list-sessions
and there was no idle-since-hint
