Did you logout and login again?

What's the output of `id`?

Mine says:
[sam at samlap ~]$ id
uid=<removed>(sam) gid=100(users)
groups=10(wheel),74(sshd),100(users),485(desktop_user_r),486(desktop_admin_r),498(pulse-rt),501(libvirt)

I definitely get asked for "my" password in the PolKit dialogs after
this change.
