If you don't use a display manager, it means you won't have a registered pam session for your graphical login, which means logind won't give the correct info to polkit (it will think that there is no active session). A workaround for this is to start your WM on the same VT as your consolelogin, and hence "steal" that pam session. I believe the magic incantation is: # startx -- vt0 Cheers, Tom
