Description:
Removing consolekit makes xorg-xdm unusable, on login success it sends you back to the login.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
xorg-xdm 1.1.10-1
consolekit 0.4.1-2

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. have both packages installed and see login successful
2. remove consolekit (with pacman of course)
3. on login success you don't get logged in

I don't see any reference to any component of consolekit in xdm sources, so I don't see why xorg-xdm should depend on consolekit.

Maybe someone can explain why xdm isn't working without consolekit?

Maybe the session you're trying to start requires it? I don't know what you start with xdm, but if you put ck-launch-session in .xinitrc and use that method to launch your desktop, then xdm will return because ck-launch-session isn't found without consolekit.

It is/was required to launch my window manager in .xsession, I only checked .xinitrc at first were I already removed ck-launch-session. Bug can be closed, false alarm.
