Description of problem: Not a single password manager window turns up when I start application with root privilege. First case with drakconf and when I wanted to install a simple rpm file. I installed only Mate and LXDE. The problem occurs in both gui-s. The only window informs me that it cannot be run because of a problem and just submit the problem to the bug reporting. Occurs: everytime. screenshot: http://i61.tinypic.com/30u8ms1.png Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

is a polkit agent installed ? what does give rpm -qa | grep polkit ? (sorry looks like your bug was missed)
Oh yes: === $ rpm -qa | grep polkit gksu-polkit-0.0.3-0.git20131130.9.mga4 mate-polkit-1.6.1-2.mga4 polkit-desktop-policy-0.112-2.mga4 lib64polkit1_0-0.112-2.mga4 lib64gksu-polkit0-0.0.3-0.git20131130.9.mga4 polkit-kde-agent-1-0.99.0-6.mga4 lib64mate-polkit1_0-1.6.1-2.mga4 polkit-0.112-2.mga4 lib64polkit-qt-agent-1_1-0.103.0-3.mga4 lib64polkit-qt-core-1_1-0.103.0-3.mga4 $ === Polkit run as daemon with system start and is still running. Authentication message comes in CLI. By the way. When I run Krusader (blue) and run in root (red icon), the password manager window (KDE su: /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kdesu) comes up. Extremely interesting.
I don't know what to check more then.
CC: (none) => mageia, thierry.vignaud
I now know. I'm afraid Mageia 3 contains bad settings in a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart and/or MATE and LXDE startup settings hit each others'.
