Bug#622234: gdm3: gdmsetup isn't working (doesn't unblock)

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-9
Severity: normal

The gdmsetup window doesn't do anything when I click to unblock it (open the authentication agent dialog).
This didn't start with the latest update, it was happening already.
Note that gufw (GUI for the firewall ufw) uses the same mechanism to authenticate as root and it works fine here.

obs.: I don't have GNOME installed here (I'm using mainly Xfce).
