Whereas other recent bugs related to switching runlevels, I have seen the creation of lots of console-kit-daemon processes when going straight into runlevel 5. As of this writing, there are 62 such processes on the system, which has been up 30 minutes.

These are threads, one for each vt, sleeping in VT_WAITACTIVE.

This patch must be added to the kernel to support the previous patch for ConsoleKit. Basically we add a VT_WAITSWITCH ioctl which sleeps until any virtual console switch occurs; this allows ConsoleKit to only use one thread to wait, and it uses the VT_GETSTATE ioctl to determine the active VT (as with Solaris implementation).
