+What is ConsoleKit?
+===================
+
+ConsoleKit is a framework for defining and tracking users, login
+sessions, and seats.
+
+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.
