It's a general problem of the policykit dialog.

The policykit dialog deceived you, polkit-1 cannot remember authentication

Just had a font installation under 12.2 / KDE 4.8.5, and guess what.....the bug is still alive.
Comment 5 Christian Trippe 2014-04-13 05:54:53 UTC 
Hi Marcus, can you tell us why we have

org.kde.fontinst.manage                                         auth_admin

in  /etc/polkit-default-privs.standard instead of the upstream auth_admin_keep? As this is exactly what this bug is about.
Comment 6 Marcus Meissner 2014-04-14 08:51:55 UTC 
the "keep" addition would remember it for approximately 5 minutes and then forget it again.

would this enhance your experience?
Comment 7 Axel Braun 2014-04-14 11:14:12 UTC 
I think that would fix it
Comment 8 Marcus Meissner 2014-04-16 16:06:58 UTC 
i changing it to auth_admin_keep for factory.
