There are, of course, other users logged in on the same seat, MIND: the same seat.

But I want the root cause of this investigated, the decision to ask for root authorization at all, when it is not asked for powering down the machine or rebooting it. The policy is inconsistent.

Thus I have reported against usability, not XFCE.

The "root cause" are the policykit defaults defined in /etc/polkit-default-privs.standard: org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions auth_admin_keep:auth_admin_keep:yes [...] org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions auth_admin_keep:auth_admin_keep:yes [...] org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions auth_admin_keep So reassigning this to the polkit-default-privs bugowner.

There is also the problem that the password prompt goes behind another dialog despite being modal.

That is an entirely different issue and probably requires some reworking of the logout dialog of xfce4-session, please file a bug upstream against xfce4-session at https://bugzilla.xfce.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Xfce4-session and attach the screenshot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
