With ck-get-x11-display-device I got :
[gus@gusiport ~]$ /usr/local/libexec/ck-get-x11-display-device
fstat: kvm_getprocs: No such process
ERROR: Failed to find TTY device for X server on display 0

This one gave me the pid of the xserver. But making something like :
# ps auxw | grep 1593 | grep -v grep
gave me nothing. That made think maybe a tweak I introduced in
sysctl.conf was guilty. What I made was add
'security.bsd.see_other_uids=0' (I use it quite frequently in server
configurations). Changing it to 1, allowed ck-get-x11-display-device
to find ttyv8 as the device used by the X server. Moreover, typing
ck-list-session showed my session as 'active'.
It seems to work, policykit allowed me to mount my removable
devices with a clean policykit.conf.
Thanks,
Gus
