I try to figure out if it possible to run SunRay with lightdm. At first it looks possible because gdm also uses ConsoleKit. 
In the moment I see in the logs and ConsoleKit history, that Seat will added but no login session starts. It will only add an 'empty' session:


1547650804.324 type=SEAT_ADDED : seat-id='utSunRaySeat12' seat-kind=1
1547719388.480 type=SEAT_SESSION_ADDED : seat-id='utSunRaySeat12' session-id='Session11' session-type='' display-type='' session-x11-display='' session-x11-display-device='' session-display-device='' session-remote-host-name='' session-is-local=FALSE session-unix-user=0 session-creation-time=''

normaly should follow here:
1505312753.308 type=SEAT_SESSION_ADDED : seat-id='utSunRaySeat11' session-id='Session5' session-type='LoginWindow' display-type='utSunRay' session-x11-display=':11' session-x11-display-device='/dev/dtlocal' session-display-device=' ? ' session-remote-ost-name='' session-is-local=TRUE session-unix-user=50 session-creation-time='2017-09-13T14:25:47.347784Z'

I can't see that utxinit is called.
The DTU is still in OSD 26D state, no Xnewt is started.

I do not know if there is a direct communication between utsessiond and gnome-session-worker, which would be a showstopper.

I found a document on https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/jmc/public/opensolaris/ARChive/LSARC/2009/432/onepager-consolekit.txt which mentions that there is patch in ck-seat-tool necessary:

 Currently this program is added by a Solaris-specific patch to
 support the gdmdynamic program, needed for backwards compatibility.
 The Sun GNOME team is working with the external community to 
 upstream this feature.

I do not know if it is still necessary and which patch it is.

Xnewt do not knows the option -seat <seatid> and <vt>. Can I ignore this options or it is still possible to use Xorg for SunRay DTU's?

Has anyone more experiance with ConsoleKit?
