The problem does not occur for me with GNOME fallback (installed from the gnome-session-fallback package). Is policykit-1-gnome not intended for use with XFCE? Since it was installed automatically as a recommends of xfce4 (through gvfs), I assumed it was the one recommended for XFCE. Additionally, I noticed that polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 does reliably start on second and subsequent logins. It is only during the first login (which is automatic as part of boot) that it fails. -- Cheers, | ke...@kevinlocke.name | JIM: kevin...@jabber.org Kevin | http://kevinlocke.name | IRC: kevinoid on freenode -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
