This makes me a little nervous…
What are the way for people which ex. use fluxbox via
ck-launch-session and thunar as a filemanager (for
dbus/polkit/udisks things) AND NOT systemd-logind ?
Will there be a way to use dbus/polkit-releated actions without
systemd?
I got more and more confused about the speed and amount of changes
