Unrelated.

You don’t need to run this by hand, it is started automatically.

There is no point using gksu.

The new version of gnome-system-tools doesn’t require any of them to be
run as root.

I don’t understand what you are trying to achieve. If the "unlock"
button is grayed out, it means PolicyKit, for one reason or another,
thinks you cannot authenticate to root. I have no idea why this would
happen with a regular setup, though.

Have you tried reloading the D-Bus configuration (/etc/init.d/dbus
reload) and killing any running policykit or system-tools-backends
process, after installing policykit-gnome?
