Sorry, but I fail to see the relation between dirmngr and polkit-kde-1, why
does the use of su vs start-stop-daemon affects the hibernation?

Thanks,

According to the description in the http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668890 su spawns login shell where the start-stop-daemon doesn't.

This login shell that su spawns violates polkit policy org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions when trying to hibernate and it can be seen with loginctl.

loginctl shows:
   SESSION        UID USER             SEAT
        c1        112 dirmngr
        c2       1000 durin            seat0

I don't know if su works differently when using systemd and not sysvinit and makes this problem appear only when using systemd.

Thanks,

Sami
