Turns out it was supposed to be a UID. In the end, the error was with
credentials passing in devel/glib20 that polkitd uses. The attached
patch fixes it:

- copy the patch to /usr/dports/devel/glib20/dragonfly/
- make install

All the problems listed above go away:

-upowerd crashes
-ConsoleKit can't make a session active
-X login is freezing a minute or two
-The session menu of xfce is freezing also for some time
-any logoff from xfve is freezing temporarilly and leaves some
applications opened.

I haven't tested xdm etc though.

I'll try to get it to dports on github.
