Well …

xfce4-power-manager-4.16.0$ ./configure --help|grep -i kit
  --disable-polkit        Do not enable PolicyKit support (default=enabled)

Now the question it what the power manager still can do without
PolicyKit. There is some confusion between the name policykit or
consolekit … but one curious fact: On a system without policykit nor
consolekit, xfce4-power-manager-4.16.0 builds just fine, even with

$ ./configure
[…]
config.status: executing po/stamp-it commands
prefix:                 /usr/local
xdg autostart:          ${prefix}/etc/xdg/autostart
POLKIT:                 yes
Network manager:        yes
Build panel plugins:    yes
 Xfce plugins:          yes
Backend:                linux
Debug:                  minimum
Configuration finished, type make to compile

So it's just using some run-time dbus API and no actual linkage? I mean
… I also don't have NetworkManager here. As I said, I stay clear of
this stuff, so do not really know how the code should be tied up.

Maybe the dependency can be dropped altogether in pkgsrc?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
