Title:
  policykit is not responding

Status in PolicyKit GNOME component:
  New
Status in policykit-1-gnome package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome

  In a fully updated maverick_amd64 the newest policykit-1-gnome_0.96-2ubuntu3
  does not let me reboot nor shutdown. This is a recent update.

  After I have pressed the reboot or shutdown button from the user menu, a small window opens with an error text:
  "policykit is not responding".
  If I then press the button "shutdown anyway", the computer reboots or shuts down within 10 seconds, but not immediately.

  This has something to do with user rights, because if I command in terminal:
  sudo reboot or
  sudo halt (sudo poweroff)
  the combuter responds immediately without any errors.

  Also, if I downgrade the policykit-1-gnome and libpolkit-gtk-1-0 packages to the version 0.96-2ubuntu2, the issue is gone
  and the user menu works as it should.
