Regarding gdm: I think why this is happening despite the fact that
ConsoleKit upstream says that gdm shouldn't be starting CK until X has
started is probably that we're carrying the patch in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593996.  This queries CK for
users before X starts.

However, it's wrong to assume that gdm is the only thing which starts
ConsoleKit; other PAM sessions are quite liable to do so too, and it's
entirely possible (if unlikely) for somebody to start a PAM session
remotely while the X server happens to be starting.  Thus, I argue that
it makes sense to fix this in ConsoleKit independently of any changes in
gdm.
