Hello,

I'm not 100% sure this is the cause, but these are the last messages I
have before I rebooted:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

I don't remember if I saw the slim login screen; but in any case I
couldn't successfully login even via a ptty.

It may have to do with polkit.

To be investigated.

This happened on a system *not* using gdm (it uses slim) and with
ratpoison as the WM, on commit f42bc604547d9ee8e35fcd66d5db7786954cfac3
of the core-updates-frozen branch.

To be investigated.

Thanks,

Maxim
