I've installed education-20170331 build from the LiveCD. In the installed system, xfce-polkit was missing. I couldn't make a network connection available for all users through editing through the Network Manager applet. (This change was not saved.) Then I installed xfce-polkit-0.2-alt1 . On the next login, I was able to successfully make this change to the network connection through the applet (after entering my password).
The reason might the change in xfce4.git which has left xfce-polkit only in xfce4-full, but not in xfce4-regular: commit e625824db8d75282f9e8bf2f322e5dd5ac26ba0a Refs: [4.12-alt5], [gb-sisyphus-task171998.100], c8 Author: Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.org> AuthorDate: Mon Nov 7 17:36:06 2016 +0300 Commit: Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.org> CommitDate: Mon Nov 7 18:07:36 2016 +0300 4.12-alt5 - NMU: rework full/regular metapackages so that -regular one is suitable for sysvinit-based systems again (xfce-polkit fails to start properly there at the moment) --- xfce4.spec | 91 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) diff --git a/xfce4.spec b/xfce4.spec index 12b97ae..5dca21e 100644 --- a/xfce4.spec +++ b/xfce4.spec ... @@ -134,8 +137,9 @@ of Xfce4 Desktop.

Might be the time to revert that change; care to?
