Public bug reported:
If I use my main computer from my laptop using X forwarding:
(go to tty1 and login)
xinit -- :1
(go to the new tty with xterm)
ssh delan.local gnome-session
any authentication dialogs using PolicyKit do not work, instead
immediately failing, causing the program to throw an "access
denied"-style message. Examples: actions in Disk Utility, updating in
Update Manager (PolicyKit introduced over gksu in maverick only for
this)
** Affects: ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
