[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#727708: Bits from linux.conf.au

To clarify, ConsoleKit has been deprecated for a while, and logind is
the official successor (and roughly equivalent in terms of what a
desktop environment needs from it). polkit is a different beast and is
*not* deprecated; it has been switched over to use logind for checking
"is that process on an active foreground console", which it previously
used ConsoleKit for.
