We need to get FESCO to understand that KDE is not PolicyKit1 ready and in the event that we can't get it there by F12 that this feature will need to be bumped to F13. They need to realize that a feature that effects multiple desktops cannot be imposed unilaterally. I now see what Rex means, the KDE-SiG needs a voice in FESCO. Steven Parrish
