That term "seat" that consolekit uses irks me... It makes it sound as if 
it is an attempt at multi-seat operation, which I did for a number of 
years with Sid + gdm + nvidia closed source driver. It does no such thing.

Hugo@HDBB:~$ aptitude why consolekit
i   xfce4         Depends    xfce4-session (>= 4.8.0)
i A xfce4-session Recommends consolekit

So I can just get rid of it.
