I am seeing this bug, too.  Here is a summary:

 - because of dbus buggyness I have to restart it sometimes:

# /etc/init.d/dbus restart

(I know how to fix the mess afterward and how to get networkmanager
working again :>)

 - one of the consequences is that two console-kit-daemon processes are
running:

$ ps aux | grep console
root      6102  0.0  0.1  13140  2892 ?        Ssl  May26   0:14 
/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
root     24182  0.0  0.0   8868  1956 ?        Ssl  09:24   0:00 
/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon

(/etc/init.d/dbus starts the second one but fails to kill the first one)

 - the new console-kit-daemon process spams my syslog with the following
messages (one message every 3 seconds !):

May 29 09:45:03 vougeot console-kit-daemon[24182]: WARNING: Failed to acquire 
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit
May 29 09:45:03 vougeot console-kit-daemon[24182]: WARNING: Could not acquire 
name; will retry

There are at least 3 things to fix to improve the situation:

 1. fix the original dbus problem (I will report another bug for this...)
 2. have /etc/init.d/dbus kill old console-kit-daemon processes
 3. reduce the number of console-kit-daemon warning messages to one
