Description Romain Perier 2009-04-15 22:37:48 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Hi,

PolicyKit was hard support in code, we're thinking (in the gentoo gnome project) that's policykit is not mature enough (younger, and for other reasons), and we must not force our users to implicitly use it (I don't criticize anyone it's a simple upstream :) )

You'll find in attachment, a patch to solve the "problem", it was reviewed by a gentoo dev and tested.
Please don't close this bug for other distribution which want to use or import this patch.

thanks,

mrpouet ;)
