I discovered that I can probably do this with just the D-Bus API. I made
the attached test case after some googling, but the call to PolicyKit's
ObtainAuthorization() doesn't seem to have any effect. I'd welcome any
advice.

I'm on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, where PolicyKit is definitely working, as
seen when I try to use the Services control panel, for instance, which
has an Unlock button.

I believe that I need to call ShowDialog() if ObtainAuthorization()
denies authorization, but I want to understand this first part.
