Yes, I know, but when something fails, users are confused ;-)

You're right. I looked at polkit sources and it really seems that only
one location is supported. It is determined at configuration time so on
some systems it may be different from /usr/share/... I'm talking
specifically about NixOS, but it already has the patch I sent.

So I leave it up to you whether to apply the patch or not. I think that
supporting seamless installation into $HOME is useful if one wants to
quickly use a newer version not available in their distribution.

BTW, thanks for great tool!
