Hi Eric and all, I have found the solution for this and other two bugs happened after upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04.
I did a "sudo polkit-gnome-authorization" and verified wrongly permission set to "frequency change" action. After grant right permissions the gnome applet can, now, change kernel frequency policy and change the frequency itself. I noticed that many permissions I had in past release as normal user was revoked during the upgrade procedure. Even this being a secure way to conduct I think that permissions users already have shouldn't be revoke during upgrades. They should kept as is to avoid bugs like the gnome applet here, usb mount in bug #368959 and unlock buttons "locked" like in bug #242435. They could be avoided if old permissions was kept in the system during upgrades. I always had permission to mount my USB drives and since upgrade to 9.04 I could no use any external drive without mount by hand as root. (my with is angry until now with me :( Eric, please, I think you should close this bug and let the "steps for solution" well documented because I don 't think it would be possible to correct permissions that were lost in the upgrade by using another upgrade. I just hope that 9.10 do not remove permissions again. Thanks and regards.
