It was a cock up with the updates, specifically polkit. All the updates where up to date last night when I wrote looking for help. I checked xsession-errors and found that Xfce couldn't find polkit-gobject-1. Update this morning brought in polkit along with other files. Reboot and it is fine.
Must be that I ran the updates just when files were moving from experimental to testing. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
