I do not pretend to know the correct way to do this, at least I can share my experience. This works here for starting an X session with startx or with xdm: 1 - I installed libpam-ck-connector I do not remember if it is necessary, but I removed the nox11 option in /etc/pam.d/common-session file (probably for xdm, may not be necessary for startx). Installing libpam-ck-connector is necessary because startx has no consolekit support. 2 - I modified /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90-consolekit such as to unconditionnally start ck-launch, like this: -if [ -z "$GDMSESSION" ] && [ -x "$CK_LAUNCH_SESSION" ] && \ - ( [ -z "$XDG_SESSION_COOKIE" ] || is_on_console ) ; then +if [ -z "$GDMSESSION" ] && [ -x "$CK_LAUNCH_SESSION" ] ; then STARTUP="$CK_LAUNCH_SESSION $STARTUP" fi I do not know why test fails here with xdm or with startx. 3 - For i386 (I do not need this for amd64), I had the following line in /etc/pam.d/common-session: session optional pam_loginuid.so before session optional pam_ck_connector.so If I do not do this on i386, ck-list-session reports that the session has no login-session-id, then it cannot be active.
