Description of problem:
I have upgraded a new F9 system to Rawhide.  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.

ConsoleKit-0.3.0-1.fc10.x86_64

This is not a bug, it is working around the limitiations of the linux vt system.
These are threads, one for each vt, sleeping in VT_WAITACTIVE.

Patch for ConsoleKit 0.30 to remove so many threads

This patch changes ConsoleKit to use an new VT ioctl and wait on a
terminal switch without requiring a thread for every possible VT.

Kernel patch to add new VT ioctl.

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).
