Are you able to reproduce the problem if you use GDM in stead of slim
and start it using the rc-script rather than inittab?

This sounds like it should work, but I don't use your precise setup so
cannot confirm it. I seem to remember other people having similar
problems and replacing SLIM with something else fixed it (but I don't
remember the details so I might be wrong).

ConsoleKit, UDisks and PolicyKit should be responsible for this
working and you should not need to be in any particular group.

Pro tip: You'd be more likely to get help if you skipped these kind of
