Not really. The very source of the problem is that polkit's design is
incompatible with some of the things we need (aka: proper window
parenting). Good news is that we have a GSoC on the way to improve this,
but I cannot guarantee that specific problem will be addressed. We will
surely revise some of our internal designs and will try to circumvent the
issue in a better way than the one we are doing now.
