Hi, I think that I've cracked part of the mystery.
Could someone seeing this problem try the packages from https://edge.launchpad.net/~james-w/+archive/polkit then run from the command line and report the output that they get. I hope that we will get some more clue about what is going on. If not then restarting your session, reproducing the bug, and then attaching your ~/.xsession-errors would help.
