GDM with Consolekit and dbus

<thrice`> amin`, so console-kit and dbus system stuff is started at boot time.  your GDM will start the local things it needs when you load X (as you see in ck-list-sessions) .  you actually probably don't need c-kit for jut xmonad, as nothing that I can think of will use it.  normally it's used in gnome or kde, for example, to verify that you are at your computer, adn let you mount a USB-stick or something



ck-list-sessions ==> is-local = TRUE  +++.> You have consolekit
