[hardy] Please update network-admin calls dropping gksu

Fixed in network-manager-applet 0.6.5-0ubuntu11

with all updates, if I launch network-admin, I still get a grayed window and unlock button.

~$ network-admin
(network-admin:4114): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkComboBox.items
** (network-admin:4114): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '4114'

That's a different issue since the bug report is about the menus calling
network-admin through gksu.

What's the output of

dpkg -l gnome-system-tools liboobs-1-4 system-tools-backends policykit

ps. My emails tend to sound authority and aggressive. I'm sorry in advance. I'll try to be more assertive as time goes by...

I get this behaviour as well when connecting into a machine to manage it.
Is occuring whether I use nxclient or ssh -Y
Whether I use sudo first or not.
Same error.

And I am in polkituser - someone suggested that.
This is kind of frustrating 'cause it makes managing this machine impossible.
Perhaps VNC would work if I could use it, which I can't.
