Package: policykit-1-gnome
Version: 0.104-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
What happens:
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 opens an auth window on request from
an outside program (nm-applet, if relevent). I enter my password and hit
enter or click Authenticate. It emits this message:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:31887): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:
g_closure_invoke: assere->meta_marshal' failed
and then opens the auth window again, this time without the password
entry form. Clicking authenticate does nothing. Clicking cancel closes
the window. Future external requests for authentication get no response
from the agent.

What should happen:
It should auth me.

Reproduce:
start /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
try to change to a new network (not previously connected to) in
nm-applet

I am not running Gnome. ck-list-sessions does show me as active and
local (I am using lightdm to log in, so that this happens).
