For Xfce it only means that xfce4-session will try to query credentials |
| 13 |
also from systemd, not ConsoleKit alone |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
There are no plans of removing ConsoleKit support for Xfce wrt upstream |
| 16 |
anytime soon since Xfce is committed for long-term BSD support, and the |
| 17 |
Xfce development team includes developers, from eg. OpenBSD |

|| ( sys-auth/consolekit sys-apps/systemd ) or something can be done if |
| 24 |
the package tries to query both via DBUS calls |
| 25 |
As in, something needs to tell PolicyKit (polkit) that you are a local |
| 26 |
user and thus grant access to eg. USB removable devices |
