PolicyKit's checks are mooted by line 145 of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py, which reads
simply:
145 self.is_admin = (os.getuid() == 0 or in_grp_sudo or
in_grp_admin)
Later, on line 192:
192 if self.is_admin:
193 self.setupInstallerTreeView()
194 self.updateLanguageView()
Thus the buttons are clickable iff the user launching the utility is in
the sudo or admin groups. A quick edit of line 145 to simply read
145 self.is_admin = True #(os.getuid() == 0 or in_grp_sudo or
in_grp_admin)
...immediately makes the buttons accessible and semi-functional: I can
e.g. select Install / Remove Languages, then click Japanese, then click
Apply Changes, and things proceed normally - I get a PolicyKit prompt,
give it my password, and get my Japanese support.
