I was wondering if the caller's environment information or some useful bit of
information might be available from the door; that would give us a more obvious
choice in the case where the enm was manually enabled/disabled.

That wouldn't work in the case of conditionally activated enms, of course.  But
I'm nervous about adding the user lookup stuff back in--that has been pretty
fragile in phase 0/0.5.  The format of the data and the identification of the
console user seems to vary depending on how you login, so we had problems
working with gdm, for example.  And I suspect virtual consoles change things,
too.  We definitely need to tread carefully here.

The GUI is running under the console user's environment, right?  Any chance we
could exploit that?
