6 I got some time to look into this. I suspected polkit which I updated last
7 Saturday, along with sddm, but I may be wrong ...

9 In summary, sddm-0.14.0-r2 is buggy and it has bitten me and probably Frank
10 Steinmetzger too on this list. The symptoms I have come across are as
11 follows:
12
13 1. Inability to mount removable devices
14
15 In particular, udisksctl in a terminal does not recognise the current user and
16 asks for root passwd. All users are members of plugdev and usb groups, while
17 some are also members of wheel.
18
19 2. Logout relaunches the desktop.
20
21 Before you ask:
22
23 ssd.conf is set to 'Relogin=false'
24
25 On the second attempt to logout the desktop logs out as it should. There is
26 no such problem with shutdown, or sleep, or hibernate.
27
28 This problems happend on two systems of mine both of which start sddm with
29 /etc/init.d/xdm, use OpenRC, launch the desktop (enlightenment) with an
30 ~.xsession file and one uses consolekit on default runlevel, while the other
31 doesn't. The same symptoms were observed when using the Plasma desktop.
32
33 Could this be due to some other reason (what?) or is it indeed a bug?
