Since i have installed Hardy ISO alpha 4, I log on the system as
'normal' admin user, (not root) and everything works OK in admin-tools
after unlocking and getting authorized.

After the last mail, i have authorized gdm access by root and i have
started a new root session. Idem, everything works OK in admin tools
Note: the unlock button is disabled (checked) but all the others are OK
and changes are permitted.
I was in this mode when i first reported the problem.
So, i think this issue is fixed.

Another try : After login as 'normal' admin user, i spawned the command
ssh -X -tt root@localhost 'gnome-terminal' and i tried admin commands in
this new terminal. I got this message :

** (admin command:pid): CRITICAL **: Unable to find session for cookie

The unlock button is disabled (not checked as for root session) and the
others button or selection list are not all OK and changes are not
permitted.
