It's known bug Xdm and ConsoleKit. With Xdm and Xfce you don't need to
add ck-launch-session in your ~/.xinitrc.

When you install x11-wm/xfce4-session, consolekit, polkit, upower are
enabled (if there are installed).

Excerpt of configure script:
[...]
  --disable-hal           Do not enable HAL (default=enabled)
  --disable-upower        Do not enable Upower support (formely
                          devicekit-power) (default=enabled)
  --disable-consolekit    Do not enable ConsoleKit (default=enabled)
  --disable-polkit        Do not enable PolicyKit support (default=enabled)
[...]

I don't know, why you don't use Xfce's xinitrc, it works fine with Xdm
(I use it). You should also add symbolic link between ~/.xinitrc and
~/.xsession.

I use sysutils/polkit (not sysutils/policykit which is replaced by
polkit, and any more /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf) for
logout / disconnect session and everything works fine.
