Well, I know more now but understand less :) I recompiled both systemd and polkit and they both have the correct useflags. After rebooting I looked at /run/systemd/seesions/1 and I'm now "ACTIVE". But next I startx (into xfce4) and look again: $cat /run/systemd/sessions/1 # This is private data. Do not parse.
