I'm afraid to tell you it's not ^^.
Don't take my word for it. Take a
look at /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d.
50-localauthority.conf disables authorization with the root password, while
60-desktop-policy.conf authorizes users in the "wheel" group. You can't
get
PolicyKit auth with the root pw without deleting/overriding these two files.
The former is shipped in the polkit package while the latter is shipped in the
polkit-desktop-policy package brought in by most Fedora DEs.
I just tested, and my sudo-enabled account requests my own password when
running "pkexec echo foo" and fails with the root password, while a vanilla
account on my system fails completely.
