I can verify this patch works on Ubuntu 11.10 amd64. I had the exact same problem. Policykit wouldn't authenticate me when I clicked unlock button. Now it works perfectly. This bug is a real show-stopper in rolling out LDAP to our Ubuntu desktops. Would be nice to get included in the next release of Ubuntu, or even a security update.
