Thanks yoyo,

These are the sessions running:

$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = '(null)'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2011-06-06T18:06:09.557945Z'
        login-session-id = ''
        idle-since-hint = '2011-06-06T18:07:05.864234Z'
Session2:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = '(null)'
        seat = 'Seat2'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2011-06-06T18:06:43.077778Z'
        login-session-id = ''
Session3:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = '(null)'
        seat = 'Seat3'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2011-06-06T18:06:44.110526Z'
        login-session-id = ''

Also, the WM is launched with ck-launch-session:

 5695 tty1     S      0:00  \_ -bash
 5730 tty1     S+     0:00      \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx
 5746 tty1     S+     0:00          \_ xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc --
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0 -auth /home/michael/.serverauth.5730
 5747 tty7     Ss+    1:10              \_ /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp :0
-auth /home/michael/.serverauth.5730
 5753 tty1     S      0:00              \_ /usr/bin/ck-launch-session
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh
--write-
 5797 tty1     S      0:00                  \_ ck-launch-session
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start
 5802 ?        Ss     0:00                      \_ /usr/bin/gpg-agent
--sh --write-env-file /home/michael/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info --daemon --
/e
 5836 tty1     SLl    1:06                      \_ /usr/bin/enlightenment

However, from the ck-list-sessions above I can see that only the first
session (the one I ran from the console) says is-local = TRUE, is this
because this is the only session in which I had to enter a password to
login?

Does the above look OK?
