Weird warning from console-kit-daemon
Hello,
I'm using Debian Sid on my laptop.
I'm having tons of warnings from console-kit-daemon in /var/log/syslog :

My hard drive is not full :

I have those warnings when I launch my session under user1, and then I
su - user2 in a urxvt console (pts/0 this morning) and/or I launch an
application under user2 with gksu -u user2 iceweasel (pts/2 this
morning).
If I login under user2 in a console, like tty2, then I have the same
kind of messages :
Apr 19 08:34:21 crapaud64 console-kit-daemon[2041]: WARNING: Failed to
add monitor on '/dev/pts/0': No space left on device
Apr 19 08:34:35 crapaud64 console-kit-daemon[2041]: WARNING: Failed to

Apr 19 08:34:36 crapaud64 console-kit-daemon[2041]: WARNING: Failed to

I can work without any troubles on my laptop, so it might not be very
serious, nor a bug.
But I like to know why warnings are issued, and I didn't find anything
on the web (but I'm quite bad at searching with keywords).
Has anybody an idea ?
Sebastien
