It would still be beneficial to be able to elevate the permissions for the
entire app. Krusader (root mode) is a good example of a tool that benefits
from this approach. When you search through the filesystems, certain files
might only be accessible as superuser and it would be annoying to have
polkit popup asking for the password each time you want to enter such a
directory.
