The problem is that Consolekit upstrea is effectively dead. From here on out, I will have to re-implement 
this code in systemd, in the logind component. I haven't yet had a chance to do this, but at a glance, logind 
doesn't track all of the same info that consolekit does, so I need to spend more time with logind's code to 
better understand how things might be done.
