BTW, a message about non-existent /use/lib/ConsoleKit/run-seat.d shows, there are just a run session.d and a scripts directory in there
Comment 2 Horst H. von Brand 2011-10-24 18:37:59 UTC 
This machine (a netbook) was going flakey, so I reinstalled Fedora 16 beta from scratch. No more troubles, seems that some file got damaged somehow.
