Followup-For: Bug #814190
Hi,
I am using the Xmonad window manager, and starting my session with the
"xmonad" session.
policykit-1 is installed:
ii policykit-1 0.105-8 amd64 framework for managing
administrative p
In fact, it seems the installer actually started it as well:

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.
Yet, I also get the behavior described in the original bug report.
Now I understand the need to standardise and avoid wasting time
supporting existing configuration such as ours - but simply depending
on polkit will not be sufficient in this case, it seems.
Maybe I screwed up something (deliberately, even!) by disabling some
part of polkit or similar: i remember having to turn off gnome-keyring
because it was doing amazingly stupid shit with my ssh and gpg
keys. But I tried looking through changes in /etc and couldn't find
anything obvious: the polkit files are there, in pam, and it is
running.
Pointers on how to actually make this work are welcome! It could very
well be this is a bug with polkit or the xmonad session manager more
than anything...
Oh, and obviously, starting the installer in a console and typing in
the password works, so it's a fair workaround... :) But I wonder how
well this will work in desktops like XFCE or other non-gnomish things.
Thanks!
