I noticed this bug today, too, on a multiuser LTSP system running Gutsy.

Like others have said, ps doesn't show multiple processes of console-
kit-daemon. In my case, htop showed a range of PIDs from about 6188 to
about 6250 (somewhere along those lines), whereas ps only showed one
single PID.

Out of curiosity, I tried killing one of the PIDs that wasn't listed in
ps, and it closed down console-kit-daemon. I no longer saw the bunch of
process in htop, nor did I see the single process in ps.

This may be an issue with the way console-kit-daemon handles threads, or
it might be an issue with the way htop handles thread display in some
cases. I'm not sure. I'm reluctant to say that it's a bug because when I
checked /proc, I saw only the PID listed by ps. It seems better to trust
/proc than htop, if differentiating between the two becomes necessary.

htop shows about 50 console-kit-deamon processes that top and ps dont show
