systemd broke xfce

After upgrading system to XFCE 4.12 then i try to mount/umount usb flash from desktop or Thunar, or then i try to reboot or logout or suspend via xfce4-session-logout i receive pkexec password prompt from udisks or systemd and xfsm-shutdown-helper.

Prompt popup placed under xfsm-shutdown-helper modal prompt, so i can't input password and i can't focus xfsm-shutdown-helper. Only one thing helps: switch to virtual tty console and killall -9 xfsm-shutdown-helper. And the process of suspending longer now, after upgarde.

Then i try:
 dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
It says:
 Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized

And MDM autostart fails, system booting now hangs, needs manually launch mdm from virtual tty console.

I think it's all about systemd.

Modal windows and systemd - seeds of evil, germinated through xfce. Sad.

My system:
System: Linux Mint 17 Qiana xfce4.12
Kernel: i686 Linux 3.13.0-24-generic
CPU: Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.667GHz
Video driver: Kernel driver i915
Graphic processor: VGA compatible Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller
X.Org X Server 1.15.1

Last installed packages during dist upgrade: http://pastie.org/10045488

I think i found a problem source.

It's all because systemd didn't start MDM automatically, and system booting hangs, and i had to start MDM manually from virtual tty console, and that is why the session was, somehow not enough authorized to do power and disks management.

As workaround i switched to use LightDM instead MDM, and it starts fine, and prompts gone.
And systemd is evil.
And modal windows too.
Cheers!
