So I amend my advice, don't use polkit and don't use dbus and lxde will work perfectly fine, with the exception of things like shutdown/reboot buttons/options.

If I understand correctly, the way this is supposed to work, is:
1) Something (setup-dependent) runs startlxde
2) startlxde runs lxsession
lxde-common-0.99.1/startlxde.in
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# ...
exec @prefix@/bin/lxsession -s LXDE -e LXDE |
3) lxsession starts Openbox and lxpolkit
lxsession-0.5.4/lxsession/main.vala
| Code: | // ...
namespace Lxsession {
/* Global objects */
// ...
PolkitApp global_polkit;
// ...
public class Main: GLib.Object
{
// ...
public static int main(string[] args) {
// ...
/* Autostart if not disable by command line */
if (autostart == false)
{
/* Launch other specific applications */
// ...
if (global_settings.get_item_string("Session", "polkit", "command") != null)
{
var securitypolkit = new PolkitApp();
global_polkit = securitypolkit;
global_polkit.launch();
}
// ...
}
}
} |
4) When lxpolkit tries to register itself with polkitd as an authentication agent using the system-wide message bus, dbus-daemon starts polkitd (because of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.service).
However, the global_settings.get_item_string("Session", "polkit", "command") != null check makes me think that it would be possible to disable the launch of lxpolkit through configuration. Which would be a good thing if lxpolkit is not built and Polkit is not installed  |

Why, in particular, do you not want polkit and dbus? They seem to provide useful functionality. Why do without?

Because I don't need them for anything else, dbus IS for communicating between different apps, usually within a DE itself, I don't run a DE nor do I run any apps that need to talk to another app. Why do I need dbus? Just to have it on my system? No thanks, that's called bloat. Polkit is a possibly finer grained sudo replacement. Again I don't need it, nor does anyone else on a single user system. I mention things because there are those who like me don't want extra programs to get in the way of keeping my system, small and responsive. So I offer a different look at setting things up.
