Stefan, do you use systemd? David told me that he could only check the
bug on monday, so I did a little research on the weekend. I installed
Gentoo in a QEMU VM (using gnome-boxes), to see if I could reproduce
the bug in a unmodified Gentoo installation (I use my systemd-only
overlay). I could reproduce the bug, but I found a reasonable
workaround:
If those four packages have systemd support disabled, then everything
works as expected (the suspend/hibernate options returns, I can
mount/umount USB sticks, etc.) If at least one of those packages have
the systemd USE flag, then the bug appears. I updated the bug report
(and I'm not really sure the bug is in polkit or gnome-shell):
This workaround also works in my systemd-only overlay. So, if you have
the systemd flag in any of those four packages, disable it and
everything should work. Just to be explicit, the versions are:
I was really looking forward to use the integration of systemd into
GNOME, but I suppose it's still a little green. Hopefully we will find
and fix the exact bug soon; meanwhile, this workaround is much more
usable than using pmount, pm-suspend, etc.
Regards.

I don't boot with systemd now (yes, kinda green) ... but have the
USE-flags set.
I will re-compile the mentioned packages without that flag now, to test.
Right now I have some weird issue with an erratic mouse, maybe this gets
fixed with today's updates as well (just returned to my office now ...)
Reports soon, thanks!

confirming this. I have exactly your mentioned versions with
USE="-systemd" and suspend/hibernate option returns, I could mount/use a
DVD right now ... yes!

OK; now I can put this whole thing behind me. You can read the bug again:
but the short answer is that you cannot let both systemd and
consolekit to manage sessions. The problem (in my case) was that I was
using accountsservice 0.6.22, which depends on consolekit. I upgraded
to accountsservice 0.6.24 (which can depend on systemd), I removed all
consolekit USE-flags (except for bluez: bluez uses consolekit to pull
either consolekit or systemd; I reported a bug[1]), and after an
emerge -uDNv world, I removed consolekit (I didn't had any other
package depending on it).
Now everything works as it should, in both my overlay and in the
vanilla Gentoo tree. Be aware: it works *with systemd*; maybe it works
without it, but I don't know (nor care). All the GNOME session
management is moving to systemd, and I think it's a great idea.
Support for consolekit (which is no longer maintained) is still there,
but I don't know for how long.
If you want to keep using (the unmaintained) consolekit, be sure to
set "-systemd" in your USE flags. Do not mix systemd and consolekit,
or this bug will hit you.
Regards.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
So if I don't use systemd right now, it would be better to keep
consolekit? I give it a try now ... compiling stuff without that flag
for a test.

Did not work. Rather easy to understand, if neither systemd or
consolekit is there, how should things work ...
Re-enabled USE-flag "consolekit" for now, re-emerged 4 pkgs, ok now.
