Install/Remove programs

[Dave Rogers]

Brian:

The polkit-config-file-validate gave no complaints.  I have to use the
sudo command.  The gksu command does nothing.  I did fire up Synaptic
and reinstalled the package anyway.  No improvement.  Sorry to hear you
are having problems with your system too.
