[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#524836: In some applications and applets, the unlock or grant button does not work.

[Mike Bentzen]

Package: policykit-gnome
Version: 0.9.2-1
Severity: important

In some applications and applets, the unlock or grant button does not work.

Examples:
After selecting a connection in the Wired connections list, pressing the 
Unlock button in Network manager applet (nm-connection-editor)
does not have any effect.

In the polkit-gnome-authorization application, choosing any selecting 
any property, then pressing the grant button shows a dialog which
allows the user to select a Beneficiary. After selecting a user from the 
drop down list, and pressing the Grant... button, nothing happens.

In both scenarios, the button is able to be clicked, and has a picture 
of grey keys, but once clicked, nothing happens.

However, when I use the network-admin utility, and press the unlock 
button (with the same grey keys), it brings up a dialog asking for the
superuser's password.

Kindest Regards,
Mike
