Description of problem: In XFCE, when invoking either of above from MCC, a dialogue box requests authentication to mount a partition pops up. Cancelling the dialogue box will allow a second dialogue box requesting authentication to mount a different partition to pop up. This does not happen in PLasma5, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate or LXDE. note: I have over 20 partitions over 5 HDD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible:every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.prepare a HDD to have at least 4 partitions. : /, /home, /swap, /something_else. 2.install only Xfce DE, from classical installer or Live media. 3.reboot to desktop 4.invoke MCC, and choose "local disks" 5.invoke "manage disk partitions" (or if available CD/DVD)

oops, "/something else" should just be labelled "something_else" - not mounted
_If_ XFCE in Mageia has always had autobrowse enabled, then we should inform the users when we stop doing that. However, despite having used XFCE a lot in the past years, I don't remember having seen all those pop-ups before I tried the XFCE Live DVD that's in QA's pretesting repo, so maybe it's a recent XFCE change, that affects all new XFCE installs?? Jani will know :-)

Partitions and removable media which are unmounted at system start: when autobrowse is enabled in Xfce a pop up window will appear when you mount it. Or, when MCC needs to mount it. This is the default Xfce setting - so far. Partitions (and media) at system start already mounted (thus before Xfce starts) won't show this behaviour. Solution if you have a lot of (unmounted) partitions: disable autobrowse in the Xfce settings: Settings --> Removable Drives and Media Maybe I misunderstand this bug: is this about a MCC pop up or a Thunar pop up window?
Created attachment 8917 [details] this is just after querying the cd/dvd rom from MCC I hope this clarifies the issue
Screenshot: This is not about Xfce, but an authentification problem, or a drakconf/mcc issue? In the pop up window: there is a 'detail', when you click on it to expand it, it should tell you what is going on. Is this a default Xfce install, with all dependencies, up-to-date mirror, no manually erased packages like polkit and mate-polkit? Never saw this issue on my xfce installations.

this varies polkit.subject-pid: 2928 polkit.caller-pid: 2931 after a reboot a different set of details: polkit.subject-pid: 2582 polkit.caller-pid: 2585
