Permission issues on Gnome 3

Hi !

For a few days, I have a problem with Gnome Shell (aka Gnome 3). Every time I try to modify the network or shutdown from the menu, nothing happens. After a few investigations in the journal, I saw this :

Sep 24 20:05:12 cobalt gnome-session[1024]: (gnome-shell:1102): libnm-glib-WARNING **: Device activation failed: (32) Not authorized to control networking.

That's when I try to activate my VPN through NetworkManager. Same issue happens when I try to shutdown, which means it's not a NetworkManager issue.

Sep 24 20:06:39 cobalt gnome-session[1024]: gnome-session[1024]: WARNING: Shutdown failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InteractiveAuthorizationRequired: Interactive authentication required.
Sep 24 20:06:39 cobalt gnome-session[1024]: gnome-session[1024]: WARNING: Shutdown failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InteractiveAuthorizationRequired: Interactive authentication required.

(When I try to shutdown)

My user is in the following groups :

lp wheel network wireshark

Does it have anything to do with Polkit or ConsoleKit ? Any leads on how I could solve this ?
