This is not the case in 0.9.3, the latest version of policykit in debian - at least, the postinst script does not start the service. Unless you mean it is only triggered when you restart your computer, which I haven't tried yet. > The new version of gnome-system-tools doesn’t require any of them to be > run as root. *Even when I run them as root*, the button is blanked out. As said in my previous email, running users-admin seems to suggest that it thinks I am running as my normal account, even when I run it from a root terminal or gksu: all users are grayed out except my normal user, which I can edit. I know that the program is *at least in some sense* running as root, because the window theme is root's window theme (dark on light) and not my normal user's theme (light on dark). > I don’t understand what you are trying to achieve.

And I have no idea why it thinks I can't authenticate to root, when I am *already* root, from gksu. :| $ network-admin (network-admin:2369): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkComboBox.items ** (network-admin:2369): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '2369' $ gksu network-admin ** (gksu:2439): WARNING **: couldn't connect to daemon at $GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET: /tmp/keyring-wyQyyC/socket: Connection refused (network-admin:2461): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkComboBox.items > Have you tried reloading the D-Bus configuration (/etc/init.d/dbus > reload) and killing any running policykit or system-tools-backends > process, after installing policykit-gnome? I just tried it now, it had no effect. The button was still blanked out as before. X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
