By design I guess. The automatic stuff is for the common case. I doubt that such a "hybrid" session is really such a common case, especially since it creates a ton of problems when you mix it with normal physical sessions on seat0. > Sure, I can try to configure polkit, but will that grant me permissions on > device nodes (e. g. printers)? Printers are a system resource, they are not reassigned to user sessions, they are expected to be written to only by system services like CUPS.
