I played a bit with PolicyKit when i had the idea to write a desktop frontend
of the system tools backend, in order to authenticate the user the service
policykit-gnome is the simplest choice, but it has gnome dependencies
(gnome-vfs+gconf), which normally i like avoid.

Anyway the author of Policykit (David Zeuten) is currently re-writing this tool
and it will be with a complete new API, so i decided to wait a bit, for even
thinking about writing a policykit-xfce or porting the gnome one to Xfce.
