Oh, wow, it was that simple?  Just removing the subject.active did it?

Thank you very much for this simple solution!

Btw., just for the records, I had found an ugly workaround in the
meantime, but it did the trick:

I started startxfce4 from ~/.Xclients via `ssh localhost'.  This
enforced a valid session, which made polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
start up normally.

But this is much better.  I'll now go and build xfce4-session with the
patch you provided in the other mail and play with that a bit.

Thanks again,
Corinna
