Description of problem: XFCE doesn't start any authorization agent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.6.1-2 How reproducible: I've installed rawhide without in minimal install (without any graphical environments) and later decided to $ yum groupinstall XFCE - and there was no auth agent running, so apps like PackageKit are not able to show the PolicyKit auth window. I had to manually run /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1. Or is there any xfce-auth-manager that I forgot to install? Actual results: polkit auth window doesn't appear when user needs to escalate his privileges Expected results: Auth window appears when it's needed Additional info: Adding some auth agent to xfce autostart could fix (or workaround) this.
This is due to /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop having: OnlyShowIn=GNOME;KDE; Possible fixes: 1) Just add 'XFCE;' in there. 2) Just remove the OnlyShowIn line entirely. Are there any other polkit agents that exist and are used currently? Moving over to polkit-gnome for comment...
I removed the line
