So, you have hostA and hostB, both run an X server.

You login from hostA to hostB via SSH as userC (and X-forwarding enabled).
If you run an action which triggers a polkit prompt where exactly?
On hostA, hostB?
Does userC have a running X session on hostB besides the SSH session?

Still not getting the full picture here yet.
