Package: xfce4
Version: 4.12.3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Without policykit-1-gnome you're unable to open programs like GParted, Synaptic, mount drives, run updates from Package Updater, etc. without manually typing gksu(do). The description of policykit-1-gnome reads:

> This implementation was originally designed for GNOME 2, but most
> GNOME-based desktop environments, including GNOME 3, GNOME Flashback,
> MATE and Cinnamon, have their own built-in PolicyKit agents and no
> longer use this one. The remaining users of this implementation
> are XFCE and Unity.

I interpret this to mean that Xfce (and Unity) should in some way depend on policykit-1-gnome to prevent users from being stuck with a half-working system.
