When I turned on the consolekit useflag, all the nice auto-mounting stuff in
gnome stopped working.

The cause seems to be that when I'm using X, I'm listed by ck-list-sessions
as both non-active and non-local, so I can't mount e.g. a usb stick unless
I switch to a virtual console where I'm recognized as both local and active.

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, or maybe I need to reconfigure
something.

Any opinions on how consolekit should handle this fairly common scenario?

I can fix my problem by turning off the consolekit useflag, of course, but
I'd rather learn something

I don't know how to solve this, but I hope the following messages may help you.

If you don't use GDM or KDM for logging in,
you must start your desktop environment (DE) as follows:
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* ck-launch-session $STARTGUI
Where $STARTGUI is a DE-starting command such as 'gnome-session'.

You should add this to your ~/.xinitrc if you use startx.

End.

I don't know how I missed that message after emerging consolekit ten times, but
I missed it. Thanks, I'll give that a try.
