[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#741698: lightdm: shutdown/restart options in XFCE are no longer available

ck-list-session lists the session always the same way. No matter how it
was started. When started manually it looks like this:

Session8:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = 'Sven Bartscher'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-sine = '2014-05-25T21:09:04.255508Z'
	login-session-id = '2'

The only difference to the message when started at boot time is the
login-session-id (which is then 1) and the title (which is then
Session2).
I hope this is even information related to this. I'm not really
experienced with consolekit.

That's not working either.

      and now replies instead of Thomas)
