[Solved] Gnome, Shaman doesn't prompt

I'm trying to use shaman under Gnome. It launches fine and lists the applications fine, etc. But when I go to process something, it doesn't do anything. There's no password prompt, or error. Anyone have an idea of what could be going on?

PS: It seems to work if I install Kde4 alongside gnome, but I am now on a fresh install of gnome only.

EDIT: Sorry for the late response. Policykit-gnome was the missing package. Thanks!

Well it's written in Qt4 which explains why it works with KDE4 installed. Make sure you got qt installed.

It needs a an authorization agent for the deprecated policykit version. Installing policykit-gnome should work in that case.
