I changed from
startx
to
env -u XDG_SESSION_COOKIE startx

I log in by this method, skipping gdm (I think it was a boot speed
optimization some time back)

output of ck-list-sessions was like in the bug referenced. But I have
a proper Realname set. But the active = FALSE was in the output.. even
though I was active of course.

$ cat .dmrc

[Desktop]
Session=default

.xinitrc and .xsession empty

I autologin from getty via .bash_profile:

$ cat .bash_profile
export GTK_MENUBAR_NO_MAC="civclient civclient-gtk"

source .bashrc

test -z $DISPLAY || exit
if test $(tty) = "/dev/tty1"
then
	env -u XDG_SESSION_COOKIE startx
	sleep 20
fi
--------

I think there was user error behind this bug.. only seen with the
"startx" configuration so far.

The bug on nautilus' side, or perhaps on policykit's side is simply
**No error displayed when user tries to do action but permission
denied/fails**

Thank you for your interest in the bug!
