<pre wrap="">When launching any gnome-system-tools utility and clicking on the

configured, and sudo-mode is set to true for gksu in gconf editor).
I saw an old bugreport of 2008 (number 412982) describing maybe the
same problem and solved by upgrading to 2.16 or 2.17 version, but i'm
using 2.22...

That is not really a limitation, but a configuration issue. PK can be setup (as
e.g. Ubuntu does), to allow for a sudo like behaviour.
If you replace the exiting configuration in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf with
<config version="0.1">
<match user="root">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<define_admin_auth group="admin"/>
</config>
you should get the same behaviour on Debian (assuming Debian also uses the
"admin" group for this).

This does not work. <br>
When I click on the Unlock button in any admin tool, instead of getting
the prompt for root password, I get an error after few seconds of
timeout : Authentication impossible (or something translated like that).<br>
