Description:

polkit-gnome-authorization -> The Authenticate dialog (http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit-gnome/ref-auth-daemon.html) does not appear when clicking the Grant button on the Grant Authorisation dialog. This bug has been reported for at least Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu (for example see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/332343). Rebuilding policykit-gnome with Ubuntu/Debian's 05-fix-actions.patch applied fixes the problem.

Additional info:
* policykit-gnome 0.9.2-3

Steps to reproduce:

Run polkit-gnome-authorization as a user (who is in the admin_auth group, as defined in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf), pick an action, attempt to grant an explicit authorisation for a user, pick the beneficiary in the Grant Authorisation dialog and then click Grant...
