One issue is that mate-polkit's .desktop file has the line OnlyShowIn=MATE;
This prevents it from being launched in any other desktop. When multiple 
desktops are installed all these files sit in /run/current-desktop/profile/etc/
and rely these lines to make them not appear in other desktops.

I made a couple patches [attached] that adds XFCE to the the .desktop's 
OnlyShowIn.
It's a little ugly though.
