'Twas brillig, and Nix at 23/04/10 00:43 did gyre and gimble: > Fedora, at least, doesn't use ck-launch-session: it uses > ck-xinit-session, which is not in upstream console-kit at all; it's in > the RH-specific xinit package. Can you say which pacakge provides that file? It doesn't seem to be part of the main ConsoleKit spec (i.e. with a patch). I'd like to look at this file but without knowing what package it's in, it's hard to comment. > It's derived from ck-launch-session but > does some incomprehensible-to-non-dbus-hackers and uncommented thrashing > about with dbus first.

Fedora tends to be a testing ground for a lot of new things, so this is not overly uncommon. > I love the new Linux world. :/ Would you prefer some completely unknown and mysterious system to one you actually can poke about with and figure out? Honestly, if this bothers you, do something about it - speak to the people involved and help write the docs. Moaning solve precisely nothing.
