Most (all?) of our login manager still depend on consolekit. However, since consolekit support will be stripped from polkit when gnome-unstable goes to testing (soon?), registering consolekit sessions on login has no effect whatsoever.
Should we rebuild our login managers to remove the consolekit dependencies?
I rebuilt kdebase-workspace locally yesterday, and polkit seems to work just fine. kde itself does not use consolekit, except through polkit.
Doing this makes sense to me. However, to make things clear-cut, it would be best if we could entirely remove consolekit from our repos and put up an announcement. That way people will not be confused as to why things stop working if they are not using logind.
This makes me a little nervous… What are the way for people which ex. use fluxbox via ck-launch-session and thunar as a filemanager (for dbus/polkit/udisks things) AND NOT systemd-logind ? Will there be a way to use dbus/polkit-releated actions without systemd? I got more and more confused about the speed and amount of changes currently ;-)
