Gnome-language-selector freeze when canceling authentification

[YannUbuntu]

Binary package hint: language-selector

- fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 RC (today's daily) 32bit, in VirtualBox.
- go to System->Administration->Language (or type "gnome-language-selector" in a terminal)
- select a new language and click on "install".
- when the system asks the administrator password, click on "Cancel"
- an Error Message appears : "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.NotAuthorized:('system-bus-name',{'name': ':1.60'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages"
- close the error message
- Gnome-language-selector is frozen

FYI, the number changes each time I reproduce the bug :
sometimes 1.60 , other times 1.62, 1.63, 1.68 ...

I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago. After a tip in some forum I added me to the 'users' group, and language-selector stopped freezing.
