I always used sudo to run xfsm-shutdown-helper for shutdown and restart. In 4.12, this stopped working. The README claims this is still a supported configuration, yet all the sudo code seems to have been ripped out, and now it *only* uses pkexec, which is not very helpful for those of us who don’t use PolicyKit—there’s still a disable-polkit/enable-polkit option to the configure script, so I assume PolicyKit support is still meant to be optional, yet this particular change rather breaks that view.
