[solved] Thunar - Not Authorized to mount disks

With the new Thunar 1.1.6-2  from Testing it is not possible to mount a usb-stick and other partitions in Openbox.
There is a popup message:

...
...
...
Not Authorized

Openbox is started with startx and ~/.xinitrc

dbus is in DAEMONS=() in rc.conf and this is my ~/.xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

any ideas?

There are no erros in terminal if thunar is started from one.

p.s.
A while ago I had the same problem with Nautilus and GNOME. Problem was missing dbus-launch in ~/.xinitrc.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
