[systemd-devel] systemd, ConsoleKit and vte

Hi;

Since systemd is going to subsume ConsoleKit and manage the user
session, I was wondering if it would be a good idea for this new systemd
session daemon to also take over the task of gnome-pty-helper?

gnome-pty-helper[0] is a session daemon that the vte library uses to
open a PTY and write a lastlog/utmp/wtmp record for it. 

Plus, a systemd replacement for it might also manage cgroups for the
terminal processes, as proposed in [1].

Regards,
	Christian
