Since I am just sat logged into a F12 gnome session over vnc, I tried it:

$ geany
Command not found. Install package 'geany' to provide command 'geany'? [N/y]
 * Installing packages..
 * Getting information..
 * Resolving dependencies..
 * Waiting for authentication.. The transaction failed:
not-authorized, Failed to obtain authentication.

This gnome session was started by logging into GDM over vnc - GDM with
xdmcp enabled, and connecting from a remote machine to the VNC port
via ssh forwarding.

HTH,
Jonathan.
