Actually, in /etc/pulse/default.pa it says "Register ourselves with the X11 session manager", but this is to save/restore settings protocol [1], and I don't think we save/restore any settings through it. > That same task is handled also by module-systemd-login and > module-console-kit.

Perhaps custom/embedded usages, where you have an X Server but not consolekit/systemd-logind? I'd say let's drop it from start-pulseaudio-x11 for either 4.0 or 5.0, but keep building it for now.
