Bug Description
After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 (from 17.04), if I open the Software and Updates app and attempt to change anything it does not popup the authorization dialog and will not let changes through. In sylog I see
Nov 23 10:07:04 tigger gnome-shell[2142]: polkitAuthentic
Nov 23 10:07:04 tigger gnome-shell[2142]: pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed
Nov 23 10:07:04 tigger gnome-shell[2142]: polkitAuthentic
Nov 23 10:07:04 tigger software-
Before the upgrade it was ok.
Other apps that require authorisation function as expected.

gnome-shell periodically stops working - no response to most mouse inputs (hot corner gives animation but not change into overlay). The only indication of failure is message "Gjs-Message: JS LOG: pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed" on stdout. I could not find more problems in journalctl.
