Well.. I'm not using Gnome or KDE desktops... But, there were a few kdelibs depending on polkit. Removed them. Removed polkit. These probably a result of installing something in the past month which I never use so no loss. Consolekit OTOH, I'm fairly sure (due to XFCE) will have been installed for some time and hasn't caused problems before now. But I think it [possibly] has to be something to do with all this as around the same time, logging in with LXDM (LXDE graphical login manager) suddenly stopped working (the login screen is head-to-toe decorated in widget-grey, and any login attempts are immediately booted out). I'm currently using the Enter login manager which is probably more broken than Slim (docs say it's broken regarding aforementioned *kits IIRC). Anyone no their way around this stuff? I've also got an NVIDIA card, and using the proprietary driver (for the occasional jaunt in minecraft).
