Public bug reported:
This is a wish, so please forward it to the appropriate place if needed.
PolicyKit KDE dialog, when asking for password, presents an empty user
field even if the current user has the sudo privileges – I think it
should preselect the current user and not ask for this extra step (in
absolutely most cases it is an extra step). I do not know if it is
possible to detect the users with appropriate privileges at runtime
without a practical trial, but if it is, and the current user does not
have those privileges, leaving the field empty would be normal in that
case.
