Yeah, kde-settings does this with JavaScript (for kcm_clock) and I don't 
think we have an easier method available ever since the support for the 
simple .pkla files got dropped.

Maybe, now that this is handled by plugins, we should write a polkit-pkla 
plugin to handle this with the old simple format?
