Fedora 12 needs root for cpufreq, how to change?

I have F12 on my laptop and F10 on my HTPC. Both run a Athlon 64-class CPU and supports cpufreq. Both have the cpufreq applet running on GNOME and automatically logs in as a normal user. On F10 I can just go ahead and change the CPU frequency; on F12 it asks me for root.

The dbus policy for it is identical across both computers, which are below:
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector.conf
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
	  "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
	  "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">

<busconfig>

  <!-- Only root can own the service -->
  <policy user="root">
    <allow own="org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector"/>
  </policy>

  <policy context="default">
    <allow send_interface="org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector"/>
  </policy>

</busconfig>
Where else can I change to get the F10 behavior with F12 and not have it ask me for root every time?

I have determined that I have to somehow allow the normal user to perform PolicyKit action "org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy", but it is not registered with PolicyKit eg. I can't see its details when I run

pkaction --action-id org.gnome.cpufreqselector

How can I add this action and set the policy?
