It's been a long time since I looked at that issue. I vaguely remember that adding pam_loginuid worked when I tested it [1] but I also remember reports that it didn't have the desired effect. > not give the desired outcome with startx.

Hopefully, repositioning the snippet will give you the same > outcome as I get. nox11 was added, because the pam_ck_connector module is activated in /etc/pam.d/common-session. That means, it is also loaded when you login via GDM, which directly talks to ConsoleKit. The effect is, that you'd have two CK sessions registered and you don't really want that. The CK/PK documentation is definitely not great, but man pam_ck_connector has a few words about that.
