Thanks golinux.
Post and release notes you've linked cleared things for me - at least in theory.
I don't have elogind packages installed.
But maybe I should mention that quickly before the problem occured I installed passwdqc with required libraries. Purging it didn't make any effect thou. I'm already running synaptic through gksu. This whole problem is present on every user account - either old or fresh.

Running sudo pam-auth-update gives me only 3 options:

[*] Unix authentication
[*] GNOME Keyring Daemon - Login keyring management
[*] Inheritable Capabilities Management 

I have checked all 3.

I don't know if I understand correctly point 5 from linked post:

After making changes to the session management you should either reboot
the system or at least cycle through runlevel 1.

Is removing unwanted backend equal to making changes to session managment? I've already cleared previous sessions, and in Settings Editor -> xfce4-session I can't find anything related to polkit. After reboot there's no effect.

Relevant snippets from .xsessions-error:

Sorry for digging up an old&solved thread, but link provided by @fsmithred is dead. And I can't find a proper solution to this.

I have very similar issues with permissions as OP:
1. Restart/Shutdown/Suspend/Hibernate icons are greyed out.
2. wicd an vpn client are not showing in notivication area (notes is visible)
3. synaptic cannot be launched through pkexec
4. / /boot /home /tmp /var and unmounted cd icons appeared in file manager & desktop

I don't have systemd-backend installed. I'm using SLIM and xfce.
Also since ConsoleKit is deprecated is switching to ConsoleKit2 (https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2) a proper solution?
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Actually, just looked at the man page, and the gnu coreutils version of sleep handles floating point numbers:

me@sybilla:~$ time for i in 0.001 0.002 0.003; do sleep $i; done 

real	0m0.014s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

So using something like

		for i in 0.001; do

should be reasonably fast anyway...

Thank you! That fixed the delay quite well. Thou I'm still hoping for some real solution - involving what was posted by @Geoff 42 in https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1156
