Hmm ... clearly we have a difference in polkit authorised actions between our 
two systems.  I use elogind, but don't have a box with consolekit to compare.

I only have the 50-default.rules, I suspect you copied 10-admin.rules from:

Yes, this is as it should be.

The thing is you shouldn't have to add polkit actions or rules manually.  As I 
understand it any userspace applications which require access to system 
services should install any rules as dependencies.

A Gentoo user with consolekit and xfce should kindly check their settings and 
compare with yours to see if something is amiss.  I'm thinking, any xfce 
regression bugs ought to affect more than one user at a time, so you shouldn't 
be alone in this.

PS. I had a look at the interwebs for your problem and a user mentioned upower 
(as I did in a previous message) - do you have upower installed?  The xfce 
desktop should have installed this as a dependency:

sys-power/upower

PPS. This page mentions some troubleshooting steps which you may have not been
