Description Ward Poelmans 2009-12-27 10:41:04 UTC 
If I want to make a wireless connection in NetworkManager a system connection, i get the following error: 
** (nm-connection-editor:3276): WARNING **: Caught error: Method "ObtainAuthorization" with signature "suu" on interface "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent" doesn't exist

It's a problem with duplicate sessions in dbus-glib and is fixed upstream.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23297 and
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-glib/commit/?id=5e5a1c1930173dac0e331c2cb78a164c3565b0eb

Please add the patch to the ebuild to fix this problem. I've tested it and it works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a connection system wide in nm-connection-editor
2.
3.

dbus-glib-0.84 was released with this fix so I think we'll go with that instead.

0.84 just bumped
