- What is ConsoleKit2?
- ===================
- 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.
