Relevant quote:

okay after about 20 reboots I got this to happen on my system with the latest
dbus and consolekit.

It looks like we're hitting *another* bug by being the first user to use
ConsoleKit.

There's one thing that looks suspicious in the ConsoleKit code. We take a name
on the bus before we register a handler for the call GDM is making.

So the race could be something like:

1) GDM calls OpenSessionWithParameters
2) d-bus notices consolekit isn't running and starts it
3) consolekit starts up and takes a name on the bus
4) consolekit registers handlers for the methods it supports
5) consolekit enters its event loop to process events

When the d-bus daemon notices ConsoleKit has taken a name (step 3) it delivers
the pending gdm call. If that happens before step 4 then it could explain this
behavior.

This also affects i386 build.

By the way I can't get out of hibernation since a few days ago, and I think this is related : instead of waking up to my restored X session, X crashes and all I got is the default KDE login screens once X has restarted.

Is this not related to the autologin problems reported under # 495057 ?
