Package: policykit-gnome
Version: 0.9.2-2
Severity: important

Hi,

With the apparition of policykit, I can't mount my USB devices
anymore. So I have searched a little bit : modify the PolicyKit.conf
like that :
<config version="0.1">
  <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
    <match user="giggz">
      <return result="yes" />
    </match>
  </match>
</config>
and it works!

But I would like to have more flexibility, so I have installed
policykit-gnome and remove the above match section of the
PolicyKit.conf.

I launch "gksu /usr/bin/polkit-gnome-authorization". I click on "mount
file systems from removable devices". Click on "Grant", choose my
user...and then I can't do anything. The "grant" button is in grey!

So it appears that the bug #524836 is not totally solved.

Best regards,
Guillaume
