Yes, XFCE took care of everything. However, at the time of the install - November 2/3 - the logout functions weren't working properly here either via the gui but did in terminal. Centurion_Dan had to tweak upower. I installed his fix on December 21. You can read the #devuan discussion here starting in early December:

That command threw up gibberish in terminal but I looked at the archive for the original install, searched for polkit and it wasn't there. Only these pkgs were installed:

libpolkit-gobject-1-0:i386 0.105-9+devuan1
libpolkit-agent-1-0:i386 0.105-9+devuan1
libpolkit-agent-1-0:i386 0.105-9+devuan1

No output.

Interesting. Since I have some Mate pkgs installed I do have mate-polkit and mate-polkit-common installed.
