It's required for KAuth that's running on system with Policy Kit 1 (for 
example Fedora 12). KAuth uses it in backend - there are currently two 
PolicyKit backends - one for old PolicyKit Qt (0.9) and another one for new 
one (currently 0.95, soon becoming 1.0).

Polkit-qt-1 is also needed for PolicyKit KDE authentication agent (polkit-kde) 
- that's needed for KAuth when using PolicyKit as backend. Currently there's 
no KCM module to manage policies as even there's no Gnome one and they don't 
want it. As it was quite used in KDE, we'd like to port it too soon.
