Okay, so what I'm guessing what happens is that the code to detect
whether we need a PolicyKit prompt looks at the number of sessions that
exist. It sees there are two, and then assumes that it's a multi-user
logout situation. The reality is that since their the same user,
PolicyKit assumes you know what you're doing to you, and allows it to be
a single user logout.

The change needed is to make the multi-user check function look to see
if they're all the same user name or not.

Thanks!
