After last update I have to log on twice KDM

Ever since I updated my system last night I have to log in twice. Using KDE4 and KDM. I enter my info, the login box goes away for less than a second then comes right back up. Not a major issue because on the second try every time it works. Is anyone else having this issue or are there any ideas on how to fix this?

It was a problem with consolekit.

Correct,

Dec 21 11:15:50 myhost kdm: :0[3086]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0
Dec 21 11:15:50 myhost kdm: :0[3086]: Client start failed
Dec 21 11:15:50 myhost kdm: :0[3086]: Cannot close ConsoleKit session: Unable to close session: no session open

the update from today updated ConsoleKit and it's working correctly again.
