This observation is correct. D-Bus caches the credentials on startup.
So whenever you do something like adding new users, changing group
memberships etc. you have to reload D-Bus (/etc/init.d/dbus reload) to
pick up these changes.

It would probably be a good idea to add a README.Debian to
kde-guidance-powermanager for Debian, which explains these issues.

Cheers,
Michael
