This results in various problem when XDM is used to login into desktop: for example, DBus messages are blocked by PolicyKit. I found a set of patches from KDM adapted to XDM in Mandriva SRPMS, but I wonder why they are not upstreamed. CCing SUSE and Mandriva Xdm maintainers.

None that I know of. But I am afraid I don't understand consolekit very well. I did the patch upon request, based on kde3 kdm's patches. But I was told it is working correctly.

Hence closing as WONTFIX. Untrue as both ArchLinux and Gentoo are carrying custom patch to enable native ConsoleKit support in XDM too. Can we reopen this bug, please?

Yes, as maintainer, I've been waiting for someone to review the patches on the xorg-devel list (since I don't have time to learn enough about the consolekit API myself to figure out if they're doing the right things) and not really caring if someone is playing games with the bug state here because they're feeling pissy. Hopefully between those four dists you can find at least *one* person willing to put in the time to give the patches a review. I will impose only two absolutely required conditions on such patches: - Unlike the first set submitted for this bug, they must be under a MIT license, not changing the xdm license to GPL or anything else. - They must do whatever autoconf or other checks are necessary to avoid breaking systems without consolekit.

The patch in Arch and Gentoo is modified (improved) copy of the OpenSuSE patch. So license is presumably same as what OpenSuSE is using for their patch.

This seems to be covered with the Arch/Gentoo patch based on testing. Tested it pretty exhaustively before pushing it to our users.
