olpc-dm ck-connector patch

Ok, so I have a theory which I *hope* explains the whole thing.

In Fedora 7 xinit had ConsoleKit support implemented as a patch:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/xorg-x11-xinit/F-7/xinit-1.0.2-2-poke-ck.patch?rev=1.1&view=log

This worked fine for us.

In Fedora 9, ConsoleKit support is implemented as a small executable
run by xinitrc:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/xorg-x11-xinit/F-9/ck-xinit-session.c?rev=1.1&view=log
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/xorg-x11-xinit/F-9/xinitrc?rev=1.5&view=markup

Now, olpc-dm is calling startx like this:

execl("/usr/bin/startx", "startx", "/usr/bin/olpc-session", "--",
"-fp", "built-ins", "-wr", NULL);

Which means that the default xinitrc is not executed and hence we
never run ck-xinit-session.

*If* my theory is correct (I can't verify it right now) then fixing
this could be as easy as running ck-xinit-session from olpc-session.
