Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Sorry for my mistake.

I have been the same problems :
- can't unlock any gnome settings
- when i want to suspend , hibernate or stop, i get a polkit prompt and gnome freeze

It's why i have think it was the same problem.

I've just found out a workaround for my polkit related issues. Gnome Session is being started too early on my system (it incorporates a fast SSD and thus systemd boots in 1-2 seconds after loading the kernel). If I start GDM manually with systemctl start gdm, it works without the need to re-login; I have actually inserted a 6 second sleep into /usr/sbin/gdm, so that I can easily remove it later and simultaneously keep systemctl enable gdm.

I'm using systemd + initscripts compatability, and I can no longer suspend in Gnome 3.6 (clicking suspend from gnome menu does nothing); however, if I let my system sit for an hour (thats the time in the power-settings), it will suspend.  Unlocking system settings works fine for me though.  I am using the SLIM login manager.
