Hi!

I have a couple of questions about pkexec in the polkit1.

Is there a reason why pkexec is a suid root helper now,
not a client-mechanism pair (as proposed for such purposes
in the polkit manpage)?

Do you plan to allow pkexec to work with X11 programs,
obtaining trusted X11 environment from the ConsoleKit
session?

Thanks!
