I have slackware64-current with AlienBob's Plasma5 installed.
Today something new appeared : when trying to quit KDE (as usual, with a right click on the screen, then "quit") the system takes a long time to ask a confirmation. But it finally can quit.
As Z80 suggested in cwizardone post "After The Last Two Updates To Current There Are Network And Xorg Problems" , I went back to "polkit-0.116-x86_64-2" (instead of version 3), and reinstalled ConsoleKit2-1.2.1-x86_64-2, and the problem is solved.
I recently added a polkit-compat32 package, but the first version was broken as Pat Volkerding pointed out to me. I fixed that package but you may still have the broken version installed.
And then also re-install the Slackware polkit and ConsoleKit2 packages, either using "slackpkg reinstall" or by downloading these packages yourself and running "upgradepkg --reinstall" on them.
@Alien Bob, I installed the new polkit-compat32-0.116-x86_64-2compat32.txz package, and reinstalled polkit-0.116-x86_64-2, and also ConsoleKit2-1.2.1-x86_64-3, and everything works.
So it is not necessary to use a previous version of ConsoleKit2-1.2.1
