20 that console-kit-daemon is running doesn't mean your session is
21 'registered' with it, you can check with ck-list-sessions
22
23 yoyo@tabletka ~ $ ck-list-sessions
24 Session18:
25 unix-user = '1000'
26 realname = '(null)'
27 seat = 'Seat18'
28 session-type = ''
29 active = FALSE
30 x11-display = ''
31 x11-display-device = ''
32 display-device = '/dev/ssh'
33 remote-host-name = ...
34 is-local = FALSE
35 on-since = '2011-06-06T07:48:11.669544Z'
36 login-session-id = ''
37 Session1:
38 unix-user = '1000'
39 realname = '(null)'
40 seat = 'Seat1'
41 session-type = ''
42 active = TRUE
43 x11-display = ':0'
44 x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
45 display-device = ''
46 remote-host-name = ''
47 is-local = TRUE
48 on-since = '2011-06-01T17:09:37.282998Z'
49 login-session-id = ''

51 the defaults for disk mounting should be that only active (local?) sessions
52 can do it...
53
54 here it seems that a normaln console (text) / ssh seesions
55 are registered in ck through pam, but X session's have to do that
56 manulally, which i guess is done either in DM's xsession script or in
57 the startup script of the chosen DE ...
58
59 if your session is not thare, then just add ck-launch-session to the
60 script you use to start the X session (~/.xinitrc in your case i guess, or
61 the script you specify to startx)
