automount is not handled well with multiple xfce sessions

Description

thunar-volman should try to automount only in the active session. Right now all thunar-volman processes trying to mount (race condition) and thus blocking each other and popping unwanted authentication request in the wrong sessions.

As a simple workaround one can place the following script in /usr/local/bin (assuming that logind is running on the system):

#!/bin/bash if [ $(loginctl user-status $USER | grep -c 'State: active') -gt 1 ]; then exec /usr/bin/thunar-volman $@ fi

But IMO the check for the active session should be done by thunar-volman.
