startx: Under Linux start X on the current VT
When we let X allocate a new VT, systemd-logind will not recognize any processes running on this VT as belonging to a valid session (since there was no pam session opened on that tty). This causes problems like PolicyKit denials for these processes. ConsoleKit under Linux has been deprecated for a few years now and is no longer being maintained, so simply make this the default under Linux. Note we do not pass in the vt if the user has specified an alternative server to start, as the vtX argument is only valid for the Xorg server, likewise we omit it if the user has specified any other server arguments.
