I recently setup up two new PCs with LXQt as desktop environment and systemd as init system. LXQt pulls in sys-auth/polkit-qt which again pulls in sys-auth/polkit. In this setup systemd will block access to Power Off, Hibernate and so on - permission denied. (Start "lxqt-leave" from the command line to see the relevant log messages.) I fixed this issue by emerging systemd with the policykit use flag. IMHO I think sys-auth/polkit should require this. Or is there some other reason to not do so? The patch to the ebuild is trivial so I haven't attached it.
I think that should be fine. sys-apps/systemd has sys-auth/polkit in PDEPEND to avoid the circular dependency problem anyway.
