Thanks. Yeah, I did look at the man page and was still not clear about a few things (including how to figure out the list of possible actions associated with a particular program) but I got the answers I needed from Matthias Clasen on IRC earlier. Thanks. For anyone else following along, my current understanding of doing things: look into /usr/share/polkit-1/actions and grep actions foo.policy for a list of actions. Then for local changes, edit /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/60-desktop-policy.conf following /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/10-desktop-policy.pkla (vendor supplied) as an example.
