 Apologies for the cross posting.
 I recently did a fresh install of Freebsd 8 , amd64.
 I then added Xorg and KDE (4.3) from the sysinstall packages system.

 I read about policykit, which seems really cool.  I set-up PolicyKit in
 the KDE systems settings and things worked great (adding USB drives),
 until I rebooted.
 Now it doesn't really work.  It seems to me that even though KDE saved
 my settings, it isn't initializing something at boot or login.
 Does anyone know what needs to be done?  Do I need to use kdm?  Add a
 line to rc.conf?  I am pretty good at Freebsd but getting KDE4
 subsystems working is still a little mysterious.

hello!
a fix for (console|policy)kit related issues was committed two weeks
ago.  you need to upgrade your kde, and yes, you need to use kdm or
gdm to use policykit (there is a howto on http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4
- at least i guess... the wiki doesn't work at the moment)

 Thanks for the response.  Is there a newer kde4 package or do I have to
 compile it?  I have compiled it before and it is a very long process...
 (even on a quad core machine)

yes, there are packages for kde 4.4.4 in the 8-stable repository (to
change repository, use something like
`PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/Latest/
pkg_add -r kde4`), but they don't have the fix. you have to wait for
4.4.5 packages, or to build from the ports (you will also get some
options for optional dependencies)
