My question was: does XFCE provide a polkit authentication agent?
And it seems that the answer is in three parts:
1. there is no polkit authentication agent that is part of the XFCE
project and is packaged in Debian;
2. installing XFCE doesn't really guarantee to provide someone else's
polkit authentication agent, either;
3. but on a typical end-user system the unmaintained policykit-1-gnome
might get pulled in by indirect dependencies if you're lucky, and if
it does, it will get started by the XDG autostart mechanism
(/etc/xdg/autostart), because XFCE is included in its OnlyShowIn
(One dependency chain that *might* pull in policykit-1-gnome, depending
on how many Recommends have been removed and what order things were
installed in, is
task-xfce-desktop -R-> network-manager-gnome -D-> nm-connection-editor -D->
policykit-1-gnome
where "-R->" represents a Recommends and "-D->" a Depends. There might
be others.)
