Not sure why...

To me it seems that the conclusion was that
- /dev/console is a wrong device to use for ConsoleKit's purposes;
- we don't hae a perfect match for that role;
- /dev/ttyv0 is the best we have.

So, I am inclined to keep pushing for such a change.

However, I do remember about bug 221452 where the opposite change was made.
I cannot simply ignore that fact, but at the same time that change was "just
stumbled upon".
That is, nobody really explained why using /dev/ttyv0 caused the problem and
how /dev/console  fixed it.
Unlike my in-depth analysis in this bug ;-)
Please re-check comment 19 and comment 23.

Also, I have been using my patch (with the opposite change) for many weeks now
and I haven't seen any issues.  On the contrary it has fixed the problems that
I had.

I am not sure how to proceed from here, but just closing this PR seems like a
wrong move to me.
