Description Aaron Sowry cendio 2013-05-13 16:47:21 CEST 
Get a number of errors similar to this in xinit.log:

Window manager warning: Log level 32: Execution of main.js threw exception: Gio.IOErrorEnum: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '13425'

I can get a functional Gnome Shell session however, by starting a terminal session and running the following:

ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session --session=gnome

We already start dbus as part of xstartup.d, so the following will suffice:

ck-launch-session gnome-session --session=gnome

Found a different approach to this. Ubuntu uses pam_ck_connector, but it isn't working for us. The reason is that it gets uppity when PAM_TTY isn't set. So if we fix that, we should get a proper ConsoleKit session.

We also want to set RHOST to make ConsoleKit register the session as remote.
