Details

i installed consolekit 0.3.0-2 and policykit 0.9-2 from testing and built policykit-gnome (PKGBUILD from AUR) 0.9.2 myself, since it's not in testing. when i open polkit-gnome-authorization in a terminal, i get 10 lines of "polkit-read-auth-helper: needs to be setgid 102".
when i try to actually change something, for example show all authorizations for something, i get two additional lines of those printed in the terminal, but no authorization dialog.

when i use kasa's policykit package from http://kasa.tuxfamily.org/arch/i686/ the dialog pops up. i just replaced the policykit package, not the other packages too. also, i don't get any of those "setgid 102" lines.

maybe it has something to do that the package in testing is built with user=102 and not user=policykit. i remember a problem like that with dbus being built with user=$somenumber instead of user=dbus a while ago.
This task depends upon

i just took the pkgbuild for policykit 0.9-2 from testing, changed user and group to "policykit" instead of "102" and it indeed works now. please rebuild the policykit package for the others too.
