Yes it is. It is mounted via fstab :
proc /proc procfs
rw 0 0
To confirm my session is detected, ck-list-sessions shows :
Session4:
unix-user = '1002'
realname = 'Gustau Perez'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/ttyv8'
display-device = ' ? '
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2009-07-04T17:41:14.065038Z'
login-session-id = ''
Editing /usr/local/share/PolicyKit.conf by hand allows normal users
to change settings.
I sent a pr/136328 hours ago, it has a patch which fixes the problem
for me. Reading fedora and ubuntu forums, I saw
the same problem, with a solution to solve it. I attached a patch to the
pr with that solution.

Gus
