--- Comment #18 from James Richard Tyrer <tyrerj acm org>  2010-03-31 21:22:58 ---
I have done considerable work on this.  I know have KDE-4.4 BRANCH installed
with:

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/KDE-4.4 \
-DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc/kde-4.4 \
-DKDE4_AUTH_POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR:STRING=/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy

I note that I built KAuth with PolicyKit although I do have polkit installed.

I configured the D-Bus configuration according to the tutorial:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Tutorials/D-Bus/Configuration

It doesn't work correctly.  When I try to change the date (to test it), the:
"Authenticate" dialog appears.  I enter the root password and click the:
"Authenticate" button and I get this error message: 

"Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 7, DBus Backend error: could not
contact the helper. Connection error: Could not get owner of name
'org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock': no such name. Message error: Failed to setup
environment correctly"

Since D-Bus is correctly configured, this appears to be a KDE bug. 
Specifically, it appears that something in KDELibs is trying to find the file: 

/usr/KDE-4.4/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock.service

without using the D-Bus API.
