Dbus and Policykit features

For ensuring your openSUSE is in security, We disable all the dbus and policykit features for deepin-api and deepin-daemon by default, as well as the deepin-file-manager. It leads to Deepin Desktop can not work fine, some features are invalid.

• The wallpaper on deepin-lock is invalid. You can not see any buttons but they are really on the middle of the screen. Move the cursor left and right on the middle of the screen, you can see buttons.
• The wallpaper on the initial screen is invalid. You can not see any buttons but they are really on the middle of the screen.
• The lightdm-deepin-greeter does not work.
• Can't lock, unlock and shutdown on deepin-lock
• System sound is invalid.
• deepin-lock can not be launched, so that can not power off and restart by gui.

If you want to enable Dbus and Policykit and don't care about security issues, you can manually run deepin-daemon-dbus-installer and deepin-daemon-polkit-installer with root or install deepin-feature-enable package to enable these features.
