Title:
  pkexec does not launch graphical authentication

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installed Trusty Tahr Lubuntu Beta1 version and added xubuntu desktop.  In 
buth desktops, I tried to launch synaptic to install some packages.  If I try 
to launch from menu, nothing seems to happen.  From a terminal, I ran
    pkexec "/usr/sbin/synaptic"
   and saw that it asks for password in the terminal window, instead of popping 
up an authentication window like previous Ubuntu version did.  That was why I 
saw no authentication request when launching from menu..  I have a 
workaround)launching from Terminal window), but this should be fixed before 
release.

  ralph@minnie:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)"
  ralph@minnie:~$ pkexec --version
  pkexec version 0.105

  Thanks
