Hey,

in Fedora, we don't distribute CK (the daemon) at all by default.
We're building KDM with the support (no real reason to put it away except  
getting rid of dependency on the library) but anyway, everything should  
run just fine if you don't really use any of the CK functionality... which  
I doubt you do, as logind actually provides a functional superset and  
every tool relying on session management already supports it (as far as I  
know).

Cheers,
Martin
