The translation is at least self-consistent now, good! However, I am
not quite sure that it is consistent with the existing translations
from GNOME or KDE power management applications. I will check and
report that separately.

I do have some comments, though.

#: ../src/login/org.freedesktop.login1.policy.in.h:19
msgid "Allow non-logged-in users to run programs"
msgstr "Разрешить пользователям оставлять программы в фоновом режиме
после завершения сеанса"

That's a rather creative rewording. In fact, it may be more to the
point than the original English string, but I am not 100% sure. Code
authors, could you please comment whether this back-translation from
Russian into English makes sense in the original context? "Allow users
to leave programs running in the background after logging out"

#: ../src/login/org.freedesktop.login1.policy.in.h:21
msgid "Allow attaching devices to seats"
msgstr "Разрешить подключение устройств к терминалу"

Is there any prior art for translating "seat" as "терминал"? Won't
that clash with "tty" at some point?
