I'm using wheezy on a 32bit computer, and I'm having this problem. I fixed it by installing the squeeze version of consolekit. But I haven't had the problem with my 64bit computer, which is also running wheezy. Does anyone know why that might be?

What display manager do you use? Are they the same on both computers?

BTW the consolekit downgrading might work for now but later you might encounter problems with it (certain packages built with the new consolekit dependencies).

It's the same on both computers. I use startx and my .xinitrc contains this:

Code: Select all

exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

I start Xfce with startx and .xsession wich only contains:

Code: Select all

exec startxfce4
In /usr/share/doc/xfce4-session/README.Debian it's written:
* only use startx, without any argument
* don't use a .xinitrc, use .xsession
apt-get install braindump -t unstable

Stupid changes are not synonymous of useful progress.

I wasn't aware of that. I changed my setup to use .xsession instead of .xinitrc, but I still seem to be having the same problem.
