Hi,

Sorry for the lag, have been on vacation since Jan 19 and won't return
back home until late next week.

Yeah, the hal list. I've added it as Cc.

Nope, not yet. Though with 0.7 the main functionality is expressed via a
D-Bus system bus service too 

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=PolicyKit.git;a=blob;h=4539043c84c34df7745c9524af58b7fe60d24862;hb=4cfb96627a5afbe34c0bc583bdcf4caf306bf1a5;f=polkitd/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.xml

Basically what you want is IsProcessAuthorized(); the rest of the 400
symbols in libpolkit.so are just for optimizations ;-).

For PolicyKit-gnome I don't have any good answer. It's only 2-3 classes
so it should be easy to bind. But I've never written bindings myself so
I could be wrong.

Thanks,
David
