+Running Xfce from the console
+-----------------------------
+
+If you don't use a login manager but start Xfce from console, you need to take
+care of few stuff in order to get a complete Xfce session with full permission
+(mount, suspend/shutdown/hibernate etc.) This is because Debian now uses
+PolicyKit/ConsoleKit to manage policies for things like device and power
+management. If you run Xfce from a compatible display manager (like gdm or
+lightdm), they'll talk to consolekit so your X session will have the
+authentication tokens, but if you use startx, it won't.
+
+Important stuff:
+
 * only use startx, without any argument
 * don't use a .xinitrc, use .xsession

-Managing shutdown

+Then you need to fine-tune your pam installation so ConsoleKit can be sure that
