Hi, thank you for your answer. I have them running indeed (both Xfce and LXDE make sure they're running). Gufw makes use of that authentication mechanism and it works (it also has its quirks as it works only on the second click but gdmsetup just doesn't do nothing). Here's the message I get when running gdmsetup:
