Port about-me to PK 1.0 (4.11 KB, patch)

Description Bastien Nocera 2009-08-14 11:40:20 UTC 
Basically remove the PolicyKit-gnome dependency in about-me.

We could have used polkit-gnome's lock button, but:
- the fingerprint stuff is the only part that needs unlocking
- admin are likely to either have the ability to access enrollment blocked or unblocked for users, and not be made dependent on typing in a password.

    Port about-me to PolicyKit 1.0
    
    Remove the polkit-gnome dependency. It's unlikely that admins
    would require a password for the user to enroll themselves,
    and we can't modify other users' fingerprints either.
