Although fixing PolicyKit for this case should be possible, it would be
a rather intrusive patch, and given its security sensitive nature, I'd
rather remove its defences.
I think it is more appropriate to make ConsoleKit work if PolityKit
initialization fails. In that case it should just disable the
reboot/halt functionality, just as if it would have been compiled
without PK support in the first place.
