Control: reassign -1 xfce4
Hi Tyler,
I confirm, that activating this checkbox works.
It's no need for additional package install, just checking that setting.
I'm reassigning this to xfce people.
Thanks for reporting
Holger

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I installed XFCE from the installer.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I attempted to launch synaptic package manager.
* What was the outcome of this action? It did not launch
* What outcome did you expect instead? I expected to be prompted for my sudo credentials. To fix the issue I installed lxpolkit and added it to the session/startup area of xfce. However, upon further thought, this may have been able to be enabled by
going to this same area and just checking the box for polkit-ukui-authentication-agent-1. Why isn't this enabled by default?
