** Description changed:

  I installed 8.04 LTS server on a system.  Then installed ubuntu-desktop
  using apt.  Installed Nomachine's NX server and connected to it.
  
  The unlock buttons on Users and Groups or Network are greyed out and un-
  accessible.  Tried running from a term 'sudo users-admin' with the same
  results.
  
  Works fine with VNC and NX "Shadow" session however this is not really
  acceptable as it means a session has to be running on console first.
  
  I have tried to enable every option in Authorizations to allow the
  remote session to have privileges to no avail.
  
  output of dpkg relevant packages:
  
  ii  gnome-system-t 2.22.0-0ubuntu Cross-platform configuration utilities for G
  ii  liboobs-1-4    2.22.0-0ubuntu GObject based interface to system-tools-back
  ii  policykit      0.7-2ubuntu7   framework for managing administrative polici
  ii  system-tools-b 2.6.0-0ubuntu7 System Tools to manage computer configuratio
  
  == Workaround == 
  If you are using NX from NOMACHINE:
   - Install package from comment #24
   - Follow instruction from comment #23
+  - Reload dbus conf by executing $sudo /etc/init.d/dbus reload
  
  if you are using FreeNX:
   - Install package from comment #24
   - Edit /etc/nxserver/node.conf and change
  '#COMMAND_START_GNOME=gnome-session'
       to 'COMMAND_START_GNOME=/usr/bin/nx-session-launcher-suid gnome-session'
+  - Reload dbus conf by executing $sudo /etc/init.d/dbus reload
