Title:
  Update to 0.17 disables hibernate for ordinary user

Status in policykit-desktop-privileges package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After updating to 0.17 I receive

  "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Operation not
  supported"

  when trying to hibernate from the desktop UI. Instead, the screensaver
  is launched.

  I have mitigated this by following a procedure
  https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/enabling-suspend-on-linux-
  lite/ to add site-local rules which override the
  /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla
  file. This file /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu
  .enable-hibernate.pkla contains:

  [Re-enable hibernate by default in upower]
  Identity=unix-user:*
  Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
  ResultActive=yes

  [Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
  Identity=unix-user:*
  Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
  ResultActive=yes

  Disabling part of the UI doesn't seem the right thing.
