Hi Matthias.
We were discussing polkit agent reorganization @ our kde sig meeting - 
cwickert joined us too [1].
Could you clarify autostart of the agent? I agree it should be task for 
desktop as it's now core component and I don't see need for users to change 
this configuration. But other question is - what about desktops without own 
polkit or even standalone wms? Another point is autostart desktop file - if the 
agent is going to be started by autostart desktop file, this autostart belongs 
to agent and should be distributed together in the agent package. Could be 
ShowOnlyIn option considered as the correct way to achieve no autostarting in 
other desktops?
