According to my understanding, either they depended on policykit (which used to provide such, or at least related, functionality, and which is now unsupported and may be unsuitable for other reasons as well), or they didn't yet include the features which that functionality enables. I had a few drafts of a possibly extended rant on the latter point, explaining why there's nothing wrong with a program adding features to take advantage of external functionality. It was getting incoherent and reiterating points from my previous mail, however, so I decided to omit it. - -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
