Yes, that's exacly how a conversion with the Hardware Abstraction
Layer and its companions "The Kits" (policykit, consolekit etc.)
takes place when you try to re-activate a functionality that has
been working in X for decades. You try to convince it editing some
obscure XML files, launch services, put "prefixes" and "suffixes"
to your commands (ck-launch-session, --with-ck-launch etc.), but
it won't listen. It knows better. It will - as programmed - save
the mission at all costs. :-)
