Right, if you use systemd-logind instead of ConsoleKit which is a full 
replacement for it (more or less)

Then you should have the systemd-logind pam entry in /etc/pam.d instead 
so it gets picked up when you login to the system

And then you should use a display manager that has the support for 
systemd-logind, preferably, but I guess text login works too, or should 
work somehow

- You can forget HAL, ConsoleKit

- UDisks1 can be co-installed with UDisks2, so use whatever your 
packages need

So all the latest you need for this is:

PolicyKit, systemd-logind, UDisks2, UPower

It's all tied to logging correctly to the desktop session... No need for 
starting anything manually, it should just work
