[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#728762: upower: not authorized to run "org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend"

[IOhannes m zmoelnig]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.23-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

afer a recent system upgrade that included upgrading from upower_0.9.23-2 to
upower_0.9.23-2+b1, my xfce4-power-manager cannot suspend/resume/powerdown
anymore.

this seems to be a problem with d-bus permissions:
$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" \
     /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized
$

similarily `xfce4-power-manager --dump` gives me:
> ---------------------------------------------------
>        Xfce power manager version 1.2.0
> With policykit support
> With network manager support
> With DPMS support
> ---------------------------------------------------
> Can suspend: True
> Can hibernate: True
> Can spin down hard disks: True
> Authorized to suspend: False
> Authorized to hibernate: False
> Authorized to shutdown: False
> Authorized to spin down hard disks: False
> Has battery: True
> Has brightness panel: True
> Has power button: True
> Has hibernate button: True
> Has sleep button: True
> Has LID: True

i'm not entirely sure which package is to blame here, but 'xfce4-power-manager'
has not been updated, whereas 'upower' (and 'dbus'!) has been, so i suspect the
problem to be somewhere here.

i'm using lightdm_1.8.3-1 as my login-manager.
also note that the above call to `dbus-send` successfully triggers a suspend if
launched from the console (TTY1).

i haven't configured anything in /etc/pam.d/
