>Description:
I'm having troubles using policykit-gnome. My system is a clean 7.2
STABLE, all ports removed and recompiled. /usr/local completely clean.
If I log as a normal user and if I try to change some actions with policykit-gnome, it doesn't bring me the auth dialog. If I log as root, I can change everything. If I remember well I thing the same happened with CURRENT, but can't confirm it right now.
I checked 'policykit -> Modify defaults for implicit
authorization', which gave me 'Admin Authentication' (the default value).
My ${LOCALBASE}/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf allows root to do
anything and defines an admin group. If I add a user and allow him to do anything (by editing PolicyKit.conf) , then it works. So that made me think the problem is related to policykit-gnome.
I'm attaching a patch which fixes the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Log into gnome as a non root user, gnome -> system -> preferences -> authorization and try to change a default config.
