No suspend in XFCE without systemd?

[Paul van der Vlis <paul@vandervlis.nl>]

Hello,

I've made a Debian Jessie laptop for a customer, who does not want
systemd. Because of dependencies with systemd I don't have policykit
installed.

When I do a "pm-suspend" as root the laptop comes into suspend state,
but in XFCE the options are grey.

When I do "xfce4-power-manager --dump" then I see that it can do suspend
and hybernate, but is not authorized to do it. I think it will have to
do with the missing policykit.

Does somebody know here more?

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
