Dear Maintainer,

I am still a bit lost with *kit stuff. I am unsure if this bugs is in
console-kit or in policy-kit. Please, reassign as needed. I have
assigned the bug to policy-kit because there is nothing in the source
code of console-kit that call the culprit method. I suppose that
console-kit relies on a lib provided by policy-kit.

Here is my error message:

Apr 22 21:51:39 xbmc dbus-daemon[1008]: dbus[1008]: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.4" (uid=0 pid=1104 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon ") interface="org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority" member="CheckAuthorization" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.127" (uid=0 pid=7563 comm="/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug ")

So, console-kit-daemon running as root tries to invoke some method of
polkitd running as root. And it is denied. I suppose there is
something missing in dbus configuration provided by policykit. There
are authorizations for
"org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.AuthenticationAgent" but not for
"org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority".
