I just tested it in an install from desktop-live-rc with root account
enabled.

Before adding policykit-1-gnome:
- selecting synaptic from the menu did nothing.
- starting synaptic-pkexed in terminal asked for the root password and
then rejected it when it was entered.

After adding policykit-1-gnome:
- graphical password entry box comes up when started from menu or
terminal. And it accepts the password.
