No answer yet, my understand is that:

1. xfpm-power-backlight-helper need to run with 'pkexec'.
2. 'pkexec' will always ask for password unless some polkit rules allow
   the action.
3. '/etc/polkit-1/actions/org.xfce.power.policy' allows the action, but its
   executable is something like
   '/gnu/store/vsnzjhjm37cd42w7vv7mxgy8hi8w6zi0-xfce4-power-manager-4.16.0/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper'.
   
So run 'pkexec xfpm-power-backlight-helper' will ask for password while 'pkexec /gnu/store/.../xfpm-power-backlight-helper' will not.

no,  need input password when run "pkexec /gnu/store/.../xfpm-power-backlight-helper"

I do not run this command by hand, when I start xfce4 with slim,  a window pop and let me input password many time,
when I press Fkey,  ask password again.

The policykit rule only allow "active" session, I guess slim may lack
'elogind-service' support to be an "active" session.

I have 'elogind-service' and use 'sx' to start xfce, no problem here...

My ~/.config/sx/sxrc:

#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap dvorak
xsetroot -solid sienna -cursor_name cross

exec dbus-run-session -- startxfce4



Hope this helps!

Chinese font, I do not know why.

Try put a fontconfig file under /var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

cat > /var/lib/sddm/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf << "EOF"
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
   <dir>/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts/</dir>
</fontconfig>
EOF

And install the fonts in system wide package configuration.

This issue was introduced in the merge of 'core-updates-frozen'. But I
can't find a proper way to fix this.
