Whew.... Ok, so the way I fixed the issue was studying ConsoleKit/DeviceKit/upower etc... I eventually realized I probably just needed a polkit rule to make this happen. And that was the case.
I tried this using SLiM, and it worked. (finally) So... what does this mean? It means we are almost ready for The FINAL TESTING ISO before Beta. Since Paul has a Jam coming up, I will try to get this out soon :) Thanks for being patient everyone, and believing in this project, it is really getting close now.
