Hi, I probably won't get around to it sending you a detailed answer this week. Hopefully next week. Please poke me again if you haven't heard from me until then. If my memory serves me well, the workaround/solution for using startx from the console involves adding pam_loginuid/pam_ck_connector to your PAM stack. As for display manager like xdm or wdm, they are not really supported in the sense that they don't have native ConsoleKit support. So the easiest way there is indeed to either use gdm3, kdm or lightdm. I'd need to check if pam_ck_connector without nox11 can be forced into getting a working CK session with those types of display managers. But that needs some more time to investigate which I don't have atm.
