You should still get "Error waiting for native console 1 activation:
Invalid argument" etc. with my patch. Furthermore, if you arrange for
console-kit-daemon to be run with --debug, then you should get
"VT_WAITACTIVE for vt 1" and "VT_WAITACTIVE for vt 1 returned
<something>" around any calls to that ioctl, whether successful or not,
which should be enough to see what's going on.

Still, I've added a few more bits of debug to the version of my patch
that I'll send upstream if this works out.
