[Bug 1073902] [NEW] ConsoleKit doesn't give at_console rights within an LXC container

[David Barth]

Public bug reported:

Symptoms:

I'm running an LXC container with lightdm and VNC. LightDM manages the
XVNC server and has the unity-greeter running properly in that
environment. However, nm-applet (and probably other elements) are unable
to access NM because they are not consider "at_console".

To avoid the issue, and have nm-applet work properly, I have added
specific rights in
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf to give the
same permissions to the lightdm user. This is wrong of course, and I'm
looking for a proper fix for that.

Note: this bug seems to be a consolekit one, but may be an LXC
configuration issue.
