Bug Description
Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome
In a fully updated maverick_amd64 the newest policykit-
does not let me reboot nor shutdown. This is a recent update.
After I have pressed the reboot or shutdown button from the user menu, a small window opens with an error text:
"policykit is not responding".
If I then press the button "shutdown anyway", the computer reboots or shuts down within 10 seconds, but not immediately.
This has something to do with user rights, because if I command in terminal:
sudo reboot or
sudo halt (sudo poweroff)
the combuter responds immediately without any errors.
Also, if I downgrade the policykit-1-gnome and libpolkit-gtk-1-0 packages to the version 0.96-2ubuntu2, the issue is gone
and the user menu works as it should.

summary: |
- [Maverick] policykit is not responding + policykit is not responding |
This seems not to be an authorization error, more like policykit "hanging" and thus not responding.
Bug #499937 does not seem to bear much resemblance to this, even if it has been named to be solved with this 0.96-2ubuntu3 update.
