Yes. They used to be root-only, but they got ported to KAuth, which uses
PolicyKit behind the scenes.
Only the following are still root-only:
fileshare
kcm_kdnssd
kcmsambaconf
system-config-printer-kde
These should all be fixed to use either KAuth or PolicyKit directly. The
root-only flag isn't even supported by upstream KDE at all. (They dropped
support for it in 4.0.0.) We made it work with a hack. But things are
supposed to use KAuth/PolicyKit instead.
