Hello Brian,
This is probably an issue with USE flags in your /etc/portage/make.conf
file. For your application, make sure that in the live CD that you have
anything related to udisks, automount, fuse, gvfs, policykit, udev etc.
enabled. Being asked for a password when shutting down and your Wicd
problem is most likely tied to the live CD being built too minimally.
Make sure the live CD also uses a DM not just a WM sitting on top of X.
KDM, GDM or LightDM with auto-login (make sure all those USE flags are
on) is a much better way to start the desktop environment than using
`startx` or similar for a live system. You shouldn't have to do write a
policy to mount a drive or shutdown the system. I don't use automount
and bloated USE flags personally for security reasons, but doing all
this should solve your problem. I don't remember all the USE flags
off-hand but when you run `emerge -av lightdm lxde-meta` should give you
a good idea as to what to turn on.
Hope this helps!
Alec
