[gentoo-user] consolekit won't start

[Mick]

I'm on an x86 machine and noticed that consolekit won't start:

# /etc/init.d/consolekit restart
 * Starting ConsoleKit daemon ...                                         [ !! ]

Looking deeper into it I find:

Any idea why it fails?  I can post the lot if needed.
