my memory is a little fuzzy; i wouldn't stake my life on it, but fairly certain 
i modified:
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy

as per
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310034

and changed this:
<defaults>

    <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
    <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>

</defaults>

to this:
<defaults>

    <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
    <allow_active>yes</allow_active>

</defaults>

currently,
 r...@noon:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions$ tail -n7 
org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy
    <defaults>
      <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
    </defaults>
  </action>

--------------------

r...@noon:~$ pkaction --action-id org.gnome.cpufreqselector --verbose
