Policy Kit opens the authorization dialogue not in the active user but in "one
of the open sessions" waiting for root password to mount an usb-key. 



Standard installation of opensuse 13.2
Create several users e.g. A, B, C, D
Open these users in sequence.
Change e.g. from user B, to C, To A and finally to D.
Insert an usb-key while user D is active and open and the other sessions are in
background. 

The authorization request for the root password will open in the wrong
user-personality. Only going there, then closing there the request, going back
to the user D in question, will make you find the correct authorization window. 
There does not seem to be a pattern to foresee where the authorization request
will pop up. 

What happens: user waits for the authorization window to occur but it opens in
a wrong personality. 
What should happen: the authorization request should be presented to the user
who did actually insert the usb-key. 

Reproducible: stable, always.
