Try accessing your sound card (as a regular user). If you use
PulseAudio, it'll fail to start entirely due to no permissions, if
you don't, playing sound will still fail due to no permissions. HAL
only gives out permissions to the sound device to local users
registered with ConsoleKit.
Also try accessing a USB stick (as a regular user). I don't know if
XFCE or LXDE provide the tools to mount them through HAL in the first
place (if they don't, that would be a separate serious usability
issue), but try Nautilus or Dolphin. This will also fail without
ConsoleKit support, because again HAL only gives out permissions to
local users and only ConsoleKit tells it what users are local.
Just as a side note, yes, Xfce does support this with the thunar-volman
plugin. You can tell it what to do with any number of removable devices
(mount, copy pictures with gphoto2, etc).
Yes, we need ConsoleKit support to work.
