By running "./configure --help", I found these promising options:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  --with-systemd-logind=yes|no
                          Support systemd session tracking
  --with-consolekit=yes|no
                          Support consolekit session tracking
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I tried the attached patch, but when I built network-manager, I got:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Did I make a mistake, or does NetworkManager just not recognize elogind?
I'll look into this more, but unless I made a mistake, I suspect that
either elogind or network-manager might require some tweaks to convince
network-manager that elogind is equivalent to systemd in this case.

Subject: [PATCH] gnome: Enable session tracking in network-manager.

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (network-manager): Add configuration options
  "--with-systemd-logind=yes" (so we can use elogind to track login sessions)
  and "--with-consolekit=no" (so we don't use consolekit to track sessions,
  since it isn't packaged yet).  Add elogind as an input.
