What exactly are we trying to establish here ?
Is that another riddle ?
If you want to know the default policies, just
open /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.gnome.clockapplet.mechanism.policy
and you will find that it is indeed
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>auth_self_keep_always</allow_active>
