I traced through the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession, and found that
dbus-launch is pre-pended to $STARTUP after $STARTUP is set to
$HOME/.xsession, so my method of invoking xfce4 from the console turns into:
dbus-launch --exit-with-session $HOME/.xsession
$HOME/.xsession contains:
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
So, my entire session, *except* dbus is in the ck-launch-session. I
confirmed this by creating a script to run polkit-auth and direct the
output to a file. When this script is run from thunar launched as a
daemon by dbus, the necessary authorization are missing.
I am going to purge libpam-ck-connector so that the stock squeeze
Xsession scripts can use ck-launch-session as designed, and see what
happens then.
