Already done:

2016-12-30 21:58:34 dpchrist at t7400 ~
$ grep dpchrist /etc/group
wheel:*:0:root,dpchrist
operator:*:5:root,dpchrist
video:*:44:dpchrist
dpchrist:*:<redacted>:

How?


> You need DBus,

I believe I have it:

2016-12-30 21:59:33 dpchrist at t7400 ~
$ pkg info | grep dbus
dbus-1.8.20                    Message bus system for inter-application 
communication
dbus-glib-0.104                GLib bindings for the D-BUS messaging system


> PolicyKit

I believe I have it:

2016-12-30 21:51:54 toor at t7400 ~
# pkg info | grep policykit
policykit-0.9_10               Framework for controlling access to 
system-wide components
policykit-gnome-0.9.2_7        GNOME frontend to the PolicyKit framework

I believe I have it:

2016-12-30 21:51:59 toor at t7400 ~
# pkg info | grep consolekit
consolekit-0.4.5_4             Framework for defining and tracking users

I believe I have it:

2016-12-30 21:52:41 toor at t7400 ~
# pkg info | grep hal
hal-0.5.14_31                  Hardware Abstraction Layer for 
simplifying device access

It looks like dbus is running:

2016-12-30 22:01:25 toor at t7400 ~
# ps -A | egrep -i 'dbus|policykit|consolekit|hal'
   763  -  I       0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax 
--exit-with-se
   764  -  Is      0:00.21 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 
4 --pri
   785  -  I       0:00.01 /usr/local/libexec/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor
74843  3  S+      0:00.00 egrep -i dbus|policykit|consolekit|hal


How do I start policykit, consolekit, and hal?

2016-12-30 21:57:26 dpchrist at t7400 ~
$ cat .xsession
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 --with-ck-launch


startxfce4 does not appear to have a man page or provide command-line 
help (?).


Where are startxfce4 options documented?
