1 Currently I cannot turn off the computer, nor reboot using gnome 2.28.2.
2 Googling around it seems that it is a polkit related problem. I've tried
3 to do what is mentioned here:

6 But polkit-auth --show-obtainable shows nothing.

8 I'm running gnome via startx, and the .xinitrc file looks like this:
9 export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
10 exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
11
12 Could anybody manage to get this working?
13
14 Thanks in advance,
15 Damian.
