Public bug reported:
In Raring and earlier, ConsoleKit was used for session management, and
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90consolekit took care of preparing ConsoleKit
sessions via `ck-launch-session` when X was started via `startx` instead
of a graphical login manager.
In Saucy, ConsoleKit has been replaced with systemd-logind, which has no
equivalent for ck-launch-session and requires X to be started on the
same terminal as the console used to run `startx`.
Could /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc be replaced with the following to
accommodate this and ensure that systemd-logind works properly with
`startx`?
#!/bin/bash
TTY="${TTY:-$(tty)}"
TTY="${TTY#/dev/}"
if [[ $TTY != tty* ]]; then
printf '==> ERROR: invalid TTY\n' >&2
exit 1
fi
printf -v VT 'vt%02d' "${TTY#tty}"
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -dpi 100 "$VT" "$@"
