The way it should work is this
- polkit-gnome, lxpolkit, polkit-kde etc. should NOT provide an
autostart desktop file. These packages really just provide code; in
particular they MUST NOT encode policy e.g. make assumptions that
people would want to run their code.
- Packages containing environments like GNOME, KDE, LXDE should
- Require a suitable polkit authentication agent, e.g. polkit-gnome
- Ensure itself the authentication agent is started
- this can be done via hard-coding stuff in gnome-session.c or
using an autostart file or whatever
We should probably bring polkit-gnome in compliance with this, then. It
still ships an autostart file.
