Whatever policykit modifications I had working in Ubuntu 9.04 (I think
it was something Jordan had posted on ubuntuforums.org) didn't work
when I tried them in 9.10. In fact, I don't think 9.10 uses policykit
in the Users control panel at all. Has anybody tried the above fix in
9.10? I'm not aware of any workaround for this on 9.10 yet. I posted
to this list on it a while back and got no responses.
