The polkit service wasn't installing its own .policy files. This adds
the configured polkit package to the list of services to scan for
.policy files.
Incidentally there are a few more:
$ for i in `find /gnu/store -name '*.policy'`; do basename $i; done | sort -u
org.freedesktop.color.policy
org.freedesktop.login1.policy
org.freedesktop.policykit.examples.pkexec.policy
org.freedesktop.policykit.policy
org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.policy
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.wacom.policy
org.xfce.session.policy
org.xfce.thunar.policy
org.x.xf86-video-intel.backlight-helper.policy
$ ls /etc/polkit-1/actions/
org.freedesktop.color.policy org.freedesktop.policykit.examples.pkexec.policy
org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy
org.freedesktop.login1.policy org.freedesktop.policykit.policy
Should we add gnome-settings-daemon as a system service, just to get its
policies into polkit? Incidentally I would *really* like the end result
of this -- right now I can't change the backlight using the keys on my
laptop. The deal is that changing the backlight requires root privs,
and org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.policy can give root privs
to a helper in gnome-settings-daemon for this purpose. That's how this
works in GNOME. It seems the xf86-video-intel backlight helper can do
the same, and I don't think it's intel-specific
(https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/tree/tools/backlight_helper.c)
but it isn't wired up to anything, as far as I can tell.
Concretely: what to do about gnome-settings-daemon, xfce4-session, and
thunar?
