Hopefully this is something minor that I've overlooked.

I reverted my laptop, Thinkpad T410, to sysvinit and now cannot do at
least a couple of things that I could before with systemd as pid 1.  As
having the laptop suspend simply by closing the lid while running on
battery has been broken for some time, I was using the Xfce icon in the
task bar to initiate suspend (using the keyboard hotkey caused the
laptop to go right back into suspend upon awakening).  Whenever I try to
use the icon and answer to suspend I get the following error box:

    GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied:
    Permission denied

Ummm, okay.  A bit ago I tried to mount a USB thumb drive from the Xfce
desktop icon and got this error:

        Failed to mount "x.x GB volume"
        Not authorized to perform operation

Clearly, something is now not set up correctly, but with all the stuff
that seems to be in control these days, I'm not sure where to start
looking.

This is a legitimate support question about how to continue to use
sysvinit with Xfce on Debian Unstable.  Not an invitation to troll.
