The very source of the problem is that polkit&#39;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.</div> \
