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.

In addition to the gnome+kde packages the relevant packages we would have to make sure still work without consolekit are:

lxdm oblogout slim udiskie (optional) xfce4-session

xfce-session doesn't support systemd-logind at the moment. Please see the bug report at <https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8729>...

xorg-xdm
