I switched from consolekit to elogind on my normally headless ARM box. It runs XMMS2 and outputs through PulseAudio. Under consolekit, my user's /var/run directory would disappear after a while, taking the pulse socket with it. Under elogind, I was able to set my user to "linger", which fixed the issue. It's not a typical use case but yeah, they do have uses outside of desktop. -- James Le Cuirot (chewi) Gentoo Linux Developer
