Description of problem: If you try to start gnome-lirc-properties, you'll get this: WARNING:root:/usr/share/lirc-remotes/: Remote Antec_Veris_Premiere listed twice in imon/lircd.conf.imon-antec-veris and imon/lircd.conf.imon-mceusb.

Run gnome-lirc-properties Actual results: Python exception Expected results: The app loads Additional info: This is due to a change in policy-kit that requires the start-time to be specified explicitly in the CheckAuthorization call. This can be fixed by adding 'start-time':dbus.UInt64(0,variant_level=1) to the subject dict in the CheckAuthorization calls in policykit.py in the gnome-lirc-properties source.
Already fixed in updates-testing, and due in the updates shortly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 595401 ***
