Michele,
The problem was that in konqueror it did not give a meaningful message and
even I couldn't conclude what was wrong until I recalled that years ago I
was looking at polkit udisks2 settings. Then it lighted up. I checked and
udisks2 was not installed (might have been purged on a cleanup).
Installed and konqueror worked immediately.

It could be that we add some more meaningful message in the dialog. That's
all.
