Glad you got this going and thanks for posting back in case others come across

Well, it's been a while ...
In my attempt to hunt down this bug I stumbled upon more than one omiss-
ion, glitch, misinterpretation, you name it that had crept into my init-
ial Gentoo installation. And since I had to fix these anyway, progress
on the initial problem was somewhat slow.
Eventually I found that
$ ck-list-sessions
$
just returned nothing. There wasn't any ConsoleKit session running at
all! I was using "x11-misc/sddm" as a desktop manager and something had
made it stop starting a ConsoleKit session before starting Xfce. I nev-
er found out what, but found a workaround. Before it starts Xfce "sddm"
sources "~/.xsession", if it exists. Therefore running
$ echo 'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session $@' >
~/.xsession
once and then rebooting solves the problem. Within the script sourcing
"~/.xsession" the arguments "$@" will expand to the command (including
arguments) configured to start your session ("startxfce4" in my case)
and the "exec" prefix will simply prevent this script from running "$@"
twice. However, since I also had other reservations about "sddm" I dec-
ided to replace it with "lightdm" which correcly ran out of the box (ex-
cept for configuring the background image and -- most importantly -- the
keyboard layout for entering the password). And "lightdm" does not need
"~/.xsession".
So finally a big thank you to all the kind people trying to help ... :-)

Hmm ... clearly we have a difference in polkit authorised actions between our
two systems. I use elogind, but don't have a box with consolekit to compare.

I only have the 50-default.rules, I suspect you copied 10-admin.rules from:

Yes, this is as it should be.

The thing is you shouldn't have to add polkit actions or rules manually. As I
understand it any userspace applications which require access to system
services should install any rules as dependencies.
A Gentoo user with consolekit and xfce should kindly check their settings and
compare with yours to see if something is amiss. I'm thinking, any xfce
regression bugs ought to affect more than one user at a time, so you shouldn't
be alone in this.
PS. I had a look at the interwebs for your problem and a user mentioned upower
(as I did in a previous message) - do you have upower installed? The xfce
desktop should have installed this as a dependency:
sys-power/upower
Available versions:
0.99.9-r1 (0/3) [doc +introspection ios selinux
KERNEL="FreeBSD linux"]
~0.99.11 (0/3) [doc +introspection ios selinux
KERNEL="FreeBSD linux"]
Installed versions: 0.99.9-r1(0/3)(10:05:06 14/06/19)(introspection -doc
-ios -selinux KERNEL="linux -FreeBSD")

Here it is:
$ pkaction|\grep -E 'hiber|susp'
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.hibernate
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.hibernate-multiple-users
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.suspend
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.suspend-multiple-users
$
And using "--verbose" I get:
$ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.hibernate --verbose
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.hibernate:
description: Hibernate the system
message: System policy prevents hibernating the system
vendor:
vendor_url:

description: Suspend the system
message: System policy prevents suspending the system
vendor:
vendor_url:
icon:

$
In "/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/" are only three rules files, the first and
last one being copied by me from the internet somewhere, the second one
being original:
# cd /etc/polkit-1/rules.d
# for f in *; do echo $f; cat $f; done
10-admin.rules
polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) {
return ["unix-group:wheel"];
});
50-default.rules
/* -*- mode: js; js-indent-level: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil -*- */
// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, it will be overwritten on update
//
// Default rules for polkit
//
// See the polkit(8) man page for more information
// about configuring polkit.
polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) {
return ["unix-user:0"];
});
50-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.") == 0 &&
subject.isInGroup("plugdev")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});

These are the polkit USE flags here:
$ eix -l sys-auth/polkit|grep Installed
Installed versions: 0.115-r4(15:10:56 22/10/19)(consolekit gtk
introspection nls pam -elogind -examples -jit -kde -selinux -systemd -test)
$
The only differences I see are that you are using "elogind" rather than
"consolekit", and that I'm using "gtk" while you are using "kde".
If someone could point me to any missing policy rules, I would be glad
to add them.

Rainer
