We explicitly require polkit-kde from F-12 in combination with polkit-1 (in 
kdebase-workspace). F-11 still require PolicyKit-authentication-agent.

Library/desktop purist, don't read it :D: For non Gnome/KDE environments it 
could be nice to have something less bloated but first criteria should be 
quality of implementation and that's where -gnome one wins (I don't know how 
mature is lxde one) - it's developed by polkit developers. We are on slip 
while trying to catch current development.
