[PATCH xdm] Implement ConsoleKit support.

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi,

(just witnessed I can no longer halt or reboot my computer, and
ck-list-sessions pretends it's a non-local session.)

Fernando Tarlá Cardoso Lemos <fernandotcl at gmail.com> (24/02/2011):

I so like people breaking stuff which was working.

See “Signing off and reviewing” on that page:
  http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

I guess it would be nice to have the original authors(s) of that patch
to sign off on it before it can be merged.

Please note that I didn't check the actual patch yet, but I might give
it a try soon-ish.

Mraw,
KiBi.
