Bug#623258: polkit-kde: Authentication fails with correct root password

[Alex Dănilă <nuorama@gmail.com>]

¡Hola!

Unfortunately I cannot trigger it by following those steps because of 
#849854 (cannot trigger nm-applet). I don't know of other ways to 
trigger that dialogue, I'll try it over the weekend.
