I have found and solved the problem.

I am using a multiseat setup and the new authentication framework used in gnome,
policykit+consolekit, don't play well with old multiseat configurations.

Following the hints given in

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2007-09/msg03482.html

I was able to solve the problem by deleting the "-novtswitch -sharevts" options
from the calls to /usr/bin/X that are in my /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom.

(in this case you need to explicitly define the terminal you want to use for the multiple
sessions in the endo of the calls to /usr/bin/X).
