So the steps to reproduce this are somewhat unclear, so let me know if I
did anything wrong:

 1. Boot fresh installation of Lubuntu 20.04
 2. Use lxqt-admin-user to create a second user (let's call it user2)
 3. Use lxqt-admin-user to add user2 to sudo
 4. Logout and back in again (yes, this is a requirement to reproduce— if you 
want, you can first remove user2's sudo and it will work, but then add it back 
and continue on)
 5. User lxqt-admin-user to try to remove user2's membership in the sudo group 
(fail)
 6. Try running pkexec against something. Since synaptic is well set up for it, 
this is a good example, so install synaptic and run `synaptic-pkexec` (fail)
 7. Remove user2's membership in the sudo group for sure with `sudo usermod -G 
"" user2`
 8. Try running the pkexec command again (success)

I did check this also against the adm group and it didn't seem to have
an effect.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure the error, if anywhere, exists in lxqt-
policykit. It's had like almost zero upstream issues, so that's
interesting.

It's also possible this is a pkexec issue of some kind. It has caused
many headaches for folks.

I'm updating my machine running off of LXQt's git master and we'll see
if it behaves any better.
