** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools This problem appears to be new in Maverick. Steps: 1. Run users-admin from within a VNC session using my primary user account that is in the admin group. 2. Click on any button that requires authorization by policykit, such as Add, Delete, or "Advanced Settings". 3. Nothing happens, even after waiting for several minutes. No authentication window or error window ever shows up. I have tried a number of the debugging steps listed in other bugs, and I - have tried the workaround listed in 221363. The patch provided for + have tried the workaround listed in bug 221363. The patch provided for "Karmic or newer" is out of date, but I tried a few different variants of it and none seemed to do any good. I would be happy to help debug this problem, so at least we can find a new workaround for Maverick.
