Ah, sorry, I didn't know you weren't using GNOME. The gnome-settings-
daemon part is not essential at all: the idea was only to use the PID of
a process that is known to be running - you can use any program name
here.
The polkitd log contains the explanation to your problem:
** (polkitd:1592): DEBUG: subject is in session
/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 (local=1 active=0)
Your session is not considered as active. Are you working over VNC or another
remote desktop system? This is the usual cause of this issue, there's a bug
187585 about that.
So the current bug is that users-admin doesn't report correctly when
authentication couldn't be obtained. The rest is a problem elsewhere. It
shouldn't be hard to fix at all, would you try to write a patch? Else
I'll try to do it myself, but I'm not making any promise.
