I'm using Kubuntu and KDM.

Updated to 13.10 (64bit, Kubuntu) and encountered the same problem. Cannot mount USB devices. Cannnot change settings in System Settings->Login Screen (apply and leave screen asks to apply again resulting in "Unable to authenticate/execute the action: (code 4)".

Tried #19
* sudo pam-auth-update --force
* reboot
=> did not work

I haven't chacked the login screen shutdown problem.

I'm looking at the PAM configurations and I have:
  session optional pam_systemd.so
in the common-session file, but don;t know why "required" would need to be set to make this work. Prior version are also optional. Will try it though.
