One clarification here: of course polkit-gnome will also be ported
(which is on my list of things to do for 0.91)... but that's going to be
only for changing the appearance of buttons/menu; e.g. put a padlock on
a button if it means an authentication dialog will pop up when pressing
it. IOW the activate() signal will not be intercepted and dealt with
like polkit 0.9.x does. That's another simplification I wanted...
