See both https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140853 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229912 for examples where this is discussed (Flumotion resp. accessible gdm). I hope you agree that, as a long term goal, we shouldn't allow users in inactive sessions to capture A/V such as to spy on active sessions :-). But, sure, that is policy and when you do policy you better provide a way to override it. So there you go. (Btw, ideally, PVR functionality would be provided in such a way that these things just runs in the background and you wouldn't need a dedicated login session. But if you want, it's not difficult to change although as mentioned in 140853 I need to write some good docs about.) (Of course, right now in Rawhide we don't remove the ACL's on session inactivity (it's a one-line change though) but that's mostly because we don't have revoke()....)
