Addendum: Actually, the bug still persists after applying the fix on the
wiki, I wasn't thorough enough in testing the first time.

"Authentication is required to suspend the system" (Details:
polkit.subject-pid: 1901, polkit.caller-pid: 1064, action:
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend, vendor: The systemd Project) and
"Authentication is required to place the system in suspend or hibernate
mode" (Details: polkit.subject-pid: 1901, polkit.caller-pid: 15462,
action: org.xfce.power.xfce4-pm-helper, vendor: Xfce Power Manager).
When I did not enter my password for these prompts, I then received a
notification from Power Manager stating "timeout was reached".
