Thanks. Just after your reply I've sent email to consolekit author,
but still I didn't get a reply. I've looked at the manual though, and
it appears that consolekit is not for two/multiple-head setup. It is
only for switching users on a single-head workstation.

Is there any alternative solution for that, which does not depend on
consolekit?
