Hem, that means it's something in policykit or consolekit and it's not related to our bug. I don't exactly know how it works, but basically the purpose is that the user in front of the computer has the power. When using su, the new user in front of the computer is root, which invalidates the previous session. Anyway, I guess that means this bug is closed. Please open another one against consolekit for the issue you're seeing. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
