I just realized that there is a change to the way polkit is packaged in
f19 that spin maintainers should be aware of: the polkit package is just
the service, which only provides the default policy as specified in the
action definitions now. If you want or need support for js rules, you need
to pull in the polkit-js-engine package. I've just made this change for
the desktop spin.

I added the dependency to kde-settings, which ships a .rules file.

Are packages really expected to ship .rules files?  I don't think so:

"Authorization rules are intended for two specific audiences

    System Administrators

    Special-purpose Operating Systems / Environments

and those audiences only. In particular, applications, mechanisms and general-purpose operating systems must never include any authorization rules."
