These people are not logged at all on this computer. There were just 
logged in the past. a week or more.
Then i guess there s something on the workstation that check the home 
directory of people who were logged in the past.

I suspect Consolekit to do that trick but i can't find a way to check it
where can i find some documentation about consolekit and the way it 
tracks past user session?
