Package: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.13 Notes:
1. I am not sure if this is a bug in x2goserver, x2goserver-xsession, or in nx-libs. 2. This bug is probably in X2Go's integration with ConsoleKit (or lack thereof.) PolicyKit depends on ConsoleKit (and on systemd-logind in newer distros.) 3. RHEL7 beta (systemd-logind) is not affected and pkexec commands do work. However, PolicyKit authentication within apps fails. I will file a separate bug about this. 4. I also tested Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 32-bit (ConsoleKit) with Unity and with MATE 1.6. On that distro, polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 (Unity) & polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1 do start, but pkexec commands fail for another reason (the app complains that it cannot open the display.) A simple workaround for this case is to export XAUTHORITY 1st, I will file a separate bug about this. 5. polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 is started as gdm, but it should be started as the user also.
