restore desktop functionalies for: suspend, hibernate, switch-users, shutdown and restart

Upon installation of the default xfce4 desktop, buttons for suspend, hibernate, switch-users, shutdown and restart are not working. Solutions suggested on DNG here below:

Boruch: 

The easy solution for suspend and hibernate is to create a pkla file i
n
folder /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d with contents:

[Allow locally logged in members of group 'power' to put the hardware
in
suspend mode]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.suspend
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

[Allow locally logged in members of group 'power' to put the hardware
in
hibernate mode]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

Golinux: 

Installing upower and libupower-glib1 from the devuan repos got the
whole shebang working for me from the xfce panel and/or main menu.

Mitt: 

(for Reboot and Shutdown) try these:
create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/\xe2\x80\x8econsolekit.pkla and wit
h the content:

[restart]
Identity=unix-user:* 
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart
ResultAny=yes 

[stop]
Identity=unix-user:* 
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop
ResultAny=yes
