Hi, thank you for your answer.<div>I have them running indeed (both Xfce and LXDE make sure they're running).</div><div>Gufw makes use of that authentication mechanism and it works (it also has its quirks as it works only on the second click but gdmsetup just doesn't do nothing).</div>

</div>You need a D-Bus daemon and a PolicyKit agent running.<br>
