yes. i use gdm. output of ck-list-seesion is:
Session1:
	uid = '1042'
	realname = 'Stefan Hauser'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/ttyv8'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2008-03-28T07:28:41Z'

i digged trought the source, and from the following error-messages, it seems
consolekit-daemon can't lookup the XDG_SESSION_COOKIE for the process. and
consequently, i dont geht any autorisations from polkit.
