Last time I checked, any session with the GUI (GDM) updates.
OK, so no problem there. For future reference, GDM depends on one of its PreSession scripts to run a program called 'sessreg' to update wtmp and utmp. The script leaves a record of that activity in $HOME/.xsession-errors, you can look there to see if anything went wrong.
It seems and 'pts' connection does not get pushed to /var/run/utmp. Also by stale I mean the contents. This time stamp on the file is old and will not update. Perms are 664 root:utmp and current time stamp is the last time the server came up.
But I thought you said that GDM logins updated utmp correctly. As far as pts logins are concerned, gnome-terminal has a profile setting that says whether it should act as a login terminal or not. That decides whether it will attempt to update utmp/wtmp when it starts. If your users have that option turned off then they won't get utmp records when they launch a terminal window.
