Looking at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1090384#17
it seems the solution for trixie is for users to install the lxpolkit
package (and possibly "add [something[ to the startup")
If that doesnt make it into the trixie xfce package in some form then
documenting a workaround in release-notes seems like a good idea .
