Just digged around a bit; while both ConsoleKit and HAL go through 
PolicyKit for "authentication", the names of the configuration variables 
differ.
Since I've run into the same issue before (i.e. with HAL), I suppose the 
default is the same but the OLPC builds explicitly configure HAL to 
allow shutdowns even for multiple sessions?
