OK, a new day has begun. In my last attempt, I accidentally used sudo to start the polkit-gnome-manager.

pang@barbaren:~$ sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd > polkitd.log

--------

pang@barbaren:~$ /usr/lib/policykit-gnome/polkit-gnome-manager --no-exit
(polkit-gnome-manager:1987): PolicyKitGnome-DEBUG: Starting PolicyKit GNOME session daemon version 0.9.2

pang@barbaren:~$ pkcheck --allow-user-interaction --process 1987 --action-id org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set
polkit\56retains_authorization_after_challenge=1
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available.
