So, not just pkexec, but gksu also failed. But then I looked up the
internet. And the workaround is:

rrs at learner:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions$ export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1
2015-11-15 / 16:22:01 ♒♒♒  ☺    
rrs at learner:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions$ gksu /usr/sbin/lmt-config-gui 
Using PyQt4
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported
2015-11-15 / 16:22:23 ♒♒♒  ☺    


It still does not work with pkexec though.
