Yes, this does need to be worked on at some point.

Honestly I'd suggest forking policykit-gnome, and make the gnome deps optional,
and replaceable with xfce deps.  If we can get that working ok, maybe we can
upstream the patches such that you could configure with something like
"--with-desktop=gnome" or "--with-desktop=xfce" and it'll do the right thing.

If they don't want to accept the patches, we could still do that, and release
it as policykit-gtk.  If we provide value, distros might ship that instead.

But it'll be several months at least before I'll have time to even think about
looking into this, let alone actually doing it, so someone else might want to
take this.

(Not sure where to file this in the new bug layout...)
