Revoking at_console privileges is neither practical nor desired. It
would mean that you couldn't access the sound card or your modem any
more while the screen is locked; also, this would mean that the desktop
would need to get the privilege to give back at_console privileges to
itself when unlocking, which really shouldn't happen.
I think for this scenario it would make more sense to disable
automounting while the screen is locked. This needs to happen in
nautilus, or perhaps the gvfs volume daemon. I'll discuss that with
upstream.
Moving milestone, as it isn't a release blocker, and the kind of bug fix
that can be done after FF.
