i have the problem withe dbus after login; it seems that dbus getting lost somewhere in the process. in instance when I want to config a connection in the network-manager i get insufficient privilege. adding ck-console and dbus in the Exec= of gdm ???.desktop does nothing in case of echinus.desktop i get back to login screen after entering pass and login and in the case of xmonad it doesn't work at all and i get insufficient privilage. i need someone to tell me how could I remove this obstacle?

te policykit suppose to kick in istead of showing insufficient privilage.
ps: I have not this problem on openbox
ps2: gdm suppost to invoke the consolekit and dbus automatically. but except the openbox it doesn't ( xmonad echins fvwm ....)

Code:

]>ck-list-sessions
Session125:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = 'amin'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty8'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2011-10-07T13:24:43.107820Z'
	login-session-id = '4294967295

look a discovery " i typed /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 in terminal then enter and my command line went standby then i went to network manager and start editing a vpn connection and then i get the policykit password dialog and i enterd it and all set" but the this is why it doesn't kick in automatically? should "/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1"
starts automativally?

Code:

/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

No, it doesn't start automatically in most environments ; you have to do that in your DE/WM startup script(s).
