Description Dave Brolley 2010-03-30 15:00:53 UTC 
The thought was that the PolicyKit widget may be a structured way of asking a
user to run normally-privileged operations such as 'stap-authorize-*-cert',
should his stap-client talk to a remote server for the first time.  Basically a
graphical sudo.
