tbh, I find it very strange, that this kind of functionality is in ConsoleKit.
I'd rather that CK remains as simple as possible and only provides
user/session tracking.

This also creates a very "nice" dependency loop:
CK depending on PolicyKit and PolicyKit depending on CK. Not good.

Could you elaborate why this functionality was put into CK?
I'd prefer if CK wouldn't add a dep on PolicyKit.

Cheers,
Michael
