Hmmm. I don't have any such key icon. The apply button is just greyed out.

Would I need some optdepend installed or some daemon started to make this 
work? I notice that I have polkit-qt installed, but I don't think I've ever 
done anything explicit with regard to policykit. I'm in the wheel group, in 
case that matters.

I'm running [testing] on this machine. Perhaps that could cause the 
difference?

Pete.
