Default Re: System policy denies access to various things

Additionally, I cannot shut down or restart the system from the shutdown menu but I have to do it by using /sbin/shutdown with root priviledges...

It does seem to have something to do with the PolicyKit. I tried restoring default priviledges, giving myself special privileges for sound, networking and shutting down the system, and ignoring the whole policy checks by editing the configuration files, but nothing works. Quite irritating because I wouldn't want to reinstall system!
