Thanks for your email Chris... you've probably guessed... but myself at
least I am a bit of a noob when it comes to policy kits. So I take it
on faith that this is all working as *expected* but it is at least a
change in behaviour compared to previous configurations I had before
(with very little configuration on my part).
I have not modified anything to do with policy kits and not sure how to
edit them so VNC client could access 'unlock' button for example on the
User & Groups panel. I have vncserver kicking off on bootup instead of
remote-desktop which was sluggish until I updated the vncserver package
as described above.
Meanwhile, here is the output to the commands you are looking for:
ck-list-sessions
Session1:
uid = '1000'
realname = 'Michael,,,'
seat = 'Seat2'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = '127.0.0.1:2'
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = '127.0.0.1'
is-local = FALSE
on-since = '2008-12-05T19:39:01Z'
polkit-auth --show-obtainable
