Many thanks, you did it for me - I was afraid of that outcome

I have re-emerged sys-apps/dbus dev-libs/dbus-glib  
sys-auth/polkit-kde-agent
as recommended elsewhere but it didn't help.

Never do that, unless you want everyone on your system to be allowed to  
gain root. As in, that is same as intentionally inserting a  
vulnerability to your own machine.

The solution is to recompile pkgs like dev-libs/dbus-glib after  
dev-libs/glib upgrade (as noted by elog in the end of glib emerge)
Propably 'emerge -e sys-apps/dbus dev-libs/dbus-glib' will do the trick  
if nothing else does
