I don't want my personal problems and bad experience with Polkit to 
influence the decision. I just want to make sure that we're doing the right 
thing: if depending on polkit will break distros because they haven't set 
up polkit correctly, then we should rethink.

In any case, you seem to be in a rush to get the 1.4 release out. I'd like 
to get at least one binding supporting fd-passing before we release -- 
preferably two. And at least get it tested with a non-libdbus 
implementation.

I'm trying to find the time to do it for QtDBus. Who can implement it for 
dbus-glib? How about Python?

Matthew, are you planning on implementing the feature on Java? How about 
the feature negotiation, is that planned at all?

Alp, how about N-Desk D-Bus?
