[bug#47870] [PATCH 0/2] Autostart polkit-gnome in XFCE

[Brendan Tildesley]

I noticed I couldn't edit NetworkManager settings in XFCE, and it turns it

there is no polkit authentication agent running. Every desktop seems to

have their own one, and XFCE seems to use polkit-gnome. Since it was 

abandoned by GNOME it isn't used for anything else. So I setup an autostart

desktop file just like how mate-polkit has one.

It feels a bit odd configuring the package with an embedded desktop file

just for XFCE. Perhaps it would be better to put it in a separate "xfce-autostart"

output or just put it into the xfce package instead of the polkit-gnome package.

What do you think?
