There may be more but these are I can find right now. all right I find Xfce4 power manager is broken and I guess it has to do with upower but I'm not really sure (IIRC reading some bugs is where I found about upower). > > kde-plasma-desktop => udisks2 => libpam-systemd => systemd > kde-workspace-bin => polkit-kde-1 => policykit-1 => libpam-systemd => > systemd > > These are examples, based on my desktop environment.

At the moment I've switched to systemd but I'm happy to experiment with these. Probably this is because I un subscribed from the debian-devel during systemd chaos in Debian I'm subscribing back again. > > 2) Find (or write your own) equivalents of polkit and udisks2, which > can fill in the gaps for those use cases.
