Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: policykit
Authenticating in an administrative tool, e.g. gdmsetup, does not work.
The policy kit authentication dialog is displayed and prompts the user
for a password, clicking authenticate causes the password field to
disappear, but does not close the dialog. Clicking cancel does not close
the authentication dialog either.
The following text is displayed on the terminal that polkit-gnome-
authentication-agent-1 is connected to:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:9842): GLib-GObject-WARNING **:
cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:9842): GLib-CRITICAL **:
g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed
