Hello,

this i nor a fedora mailing list nether a policykit one.

Try to start X with

startx -- vt0

See http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/50622/using-startx-on-fedora-17-a-non-root-user-cannot-join-new-wireless-networks

Btw. on Arch Linux policykit is deprecated in favour of polkit. I do not know the situation in fedora.

Best Regards Stefan
