I just did a manual built graphical system based on ASCII RC in VBox. First installed xorg, the lightdm and finally mate. The console kit stuff was pulled by xorg already.

I don't know if anyone gave you this link, but here are Irrwahn's instructions on which polkit libs you need:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=8217#p8217
the reason I install kde-plasma-desktop as opposed to kde-standard is I am interested in a basic install with the least amount of extra software as possible.

]]>fig, I'm pretty sure you already are using elogind. Look under the hood.
elogind has been around for a few months. It was forked from gentoo. That, and the corresponding libraries allow us to offer more desktops in the installer.
It's elogind and libpam-elogind for kde, cinnamon and lxqt;
consolekit and libpam-ck-connector for xfce and mate.
a very understandable assumption, but incorrect; as i guessed, due to the fact that im running icewm, elogind is simply nowhere on the entire system.
there is in the fig os installer i think, even a .so with pam-elogind but it did not install, likely due to not being needed. would it if needed? probably-- havent tried it. very much of note: this system was dist-upgraded from devuan/refracta/fig os jessie. that could be it, too.

lxde is a little more confusing, because it can provide a couple more 'kits to get in the way. It's possible to install and use it, but it wasn't coming out of the box right, so we removed it from the tasksel list.
And those are not the only combinations that work.
I made a chart when the beta was released, but it's obsolete. Things have changed.
]]>i will probably be using elogind before i know it; since its rare that i run a de more complex than icewm (i have sometimes) i guess it could be a while, unless it comes in anyway.
]]>its a vague question that welcomes a vague answer-- about a component being used as part of a solution (or seemingly related to) software talked about in this thread. just looking for a simple opinion (at least that suffices) from a user or anybody familiar.
]]>Perhaps in regards to golinux post; I have also installed desktop and kde "properly" by selecting them both at software install selection time and the correct elogind stuff does get installed, no issues there; so thats good.
