ConsoleKit2 is a framework for defining and tracking users, login
|
|
sessions, and seats. It allows multiple users to be logged in at the
|
|
same time and share hardware for their graphical session. ConsoleKit2
|
|
will keep track of those resources and whichever session is active
|
|
will have use of the hardware at that time.

What is a seat?
|
|
===============
|
|
A seat is a collection of sessions and a set of hardware (usually at
|
|
least a keyboard and mouse). Only one session may be active on a
|
|
seat at a time.

What is a session?
|
|
==================
|
|
A session is a collection of all processes that originate from a single
|
|
common ancestor and retain knowledge of a secret. As an implementation
|
|
detail, this secret may be stored in the process environment by the
|
|
login manager under the name XDG_SESSION_COOKIE.
