= Summary =

The Desktop Team have a requirement for Multiseat support. Currently, ConsoleKit is used to handle sessions but has issues:

• it's apparently unmaintained
• requires $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE.

Fedora now uses a facility called 'logind' which replaces ConsoleKit and uses cgroups and PAM to provide X session and terminal session and seat management.

This session is to:

(1) Discuss the plan regarding either making use of logind, updating ConsoleKit or writing our own tool. (2) Identify a list of requirements on a ConsoleKit successor.
