After dist-upgrade with apt-get there are obviously authentication problems on the system dbus. The following was working before but is not any more:

- mount smb shares with smb4k (translated error message from German: action execution has failes (Error code: AuthenticationDenied)
- Hibernate and Suspend buttons are not more displayed in the KDE menu, where they have been before.
It looks like a dbus or polkit issue as hibernation is still working when logged in as user root and can be fixed with some changes.
For a fix add lines with "<allow_any>yes</allow_any>" to /usr/shar/polkit/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy in the appropriate sections.
(but I guess this is not a correct solution...)
