Pure console is what I prefer to use, xdm was just for testing purposes,
I've now tried gdm (see below).

libpam-ck-connector was already installed.

This is ck-list-sessions after booting with gdm:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = ''
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2011-04-21T13:12:30.160505Z'
	login-session-id = ''

The ck-Session is now marked active and has x11-display properly set,
but behaviour/output from thunar/thunar-volman didn't change.

Out of desperation I also ran the X/Xfce session as root, still no difference.

Could it be that there's something else missing (e.g. thunar-volman dosn't
recommend or suggest udisks, should I file a seperate bug about that?)?
