Might be worth checking /etc/permissions.local. Had similar problems with a new install which suddenly started not running applications requiring root access from GNOME (particularly Yast)....a bit of googling found workaround below...
add
/usr/lib/libgnomesu/gnomesu-pam-backend root:root 4755
to the /etc/permissions.local file.
Which seems to have fixed issue for me, (at some point I will figure out why and whether this is a good idea)... what is of more interest in this is what got borked and what did it ... but I am working on other stuff at moment and if it recurs I will take a closer look....
Thanks for this, will give it a try - did you have to log out and back in for the change to take effect?
