Thanks for the bug report. Any new technology needs some time to mature until
it is fully usable without any hindrance. Remember that Plasma needed more than
a year after the initial release to get into a state where people accepted it.

PolicyKit already is optional, as long as you offer another KAuth backend. So
if the problems clearly are related to PolicyKit itself, a different backend
could be developed. But for now we have to use what is available.

To further improve KAuth/PolicyKit framework and integration into KDE, we need
more specific tasks to work on. If you can describe problems, bugs, or missing
functionality in the current KDE SC 4.4 release, we would be glad to hear them
from you.

Thanks in advance.
