I'd much rather see us stop shipping X11 applications that run as root
and, for that matter, consolehelper too. At least in the default
install. 

(That said, I've been toying around with writing a consolehelper
replacement using PolicyKit; it's not a lot of work and the immediate
benefit is that you can use the /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf mechanism
to control access; the most immediate benefit being the
"fire-and-forget" feature that you get with the remember authorization
check boxes.)
