Bug Description
Another try : After login as 'normal' admin user, i spawned the command
ssh -X -tt root@localhost 'gnome-terminal' and i tried admin commands in
this new terminal. I got this message :
** (admin command:pid): CRITICAL **: Unable to find session for cookie
The unlock button is disabled (not checked as for root session) and the
others button or selection list are not all OK and changes are not
permitted.

Hi,
I am unable to reproduce your problem in my environment.
There has been a new upload of policykit in to hardy, but
the change doesn't seem related to the issue you are seeing.
However, if you have the newer package installed it would
be good if you could test it again.
Is there anything else unusual in your setup that you could
tell us?
Is this a fresh install of hardy?
Thanks,
James
