I always used sudo to run xfsm-shutdown-helper for shutdown and restart. In
4.12, this stopped working. The README claims this is still a supported
configuration, yet all the sudo code seems to have been ripped out, and now it
*only* uses pkexec, which is not very helpful for those of us who don’t use
PolicyKit—there’s still a disable-polkit/enable-polkit option to the configure
script, so I assume PolicyKit support is still meant to be optional, yet this
particular change rather breaks that view.
