Hm? What new feature should I request? "Hi, I need a new feature that makes an existing feature work correctly.." The problem is not that I am asking for something that KDE doesnt already do on other platforms. This is something that is already supposed work, and does, on other platforms. Other "prompt for authentication" stuff was also broken under 4.6.5, but most of them are now corrected in the latest release, 4.7.2, except the mounting of internal media, which now complains "An error occurred while accessing '20.0 GiB Hard Drive', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed no <-- (action, result)" Prior to 4.7.2, the last part would say "admin-auth <-- (action, result)" Also, in 4.7.2 - I can no longer find that policy to change it, so now there is no apparent workaround, other than simply mounting the partition/slice by hand. I installed the polkit KCM from this location: https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/base/polkit-kde- kcmodules-1/repository To try and see if i could change the mount-fixed option, but it doesn't appear to exist..
