[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#626598: Bug#626598: [xfce4-session] session not ACTIVE, pam_loginuid.so as "session optional"

[marek at straka.info (Marek Straka)]

If you upgrade xfce4.6 to xfce4.8 you need to take care if you have installed also these packages:
policykit-1
gvfs
libpam-ck-connector
...as these are only recommended and without that thunar is not able mount external disks and desktop is not able to turn PC off. 

----
I am starting session with "startx".
The last thing which I do not fully understand - in /etc/pam.d/common-session
must be
session optional        pam_loginuid.so
before
session optional        pam_ck_connector.so nox11
Update of libpam-runtime removed (upon system wide settings) pam_loginuid.so from this config file.
