Brian Cameron: > 2. Project Summary > 2.1. Project Description: > > ConsoleKit is a FreeDesktop framework for defining and tracking users, > login sessions and seats. ConsoleKit has two main purposes: > > - To maintain a database of information about each running session > which the display manager (GDM) uses. The old GDM keeps track of > this information internally, but new versions of GDM (2.21 and > later) use ConsoleKit. > - To support switching sessions and session migration when using > What is "session migration" here? Does it mean the session can be migrated from one VT to another VT? With VT, will ConsoleKit be noticed the session switch? Session switch may automatically cause the keyboard and mouse migration between sessions. Currently in Solaris, graphics session will grab the mouse and keyboard input from the text session in the session switch.
