I've just had that code in my hands (in xfce4-session).

Maybe we could add some --disable-policykit configure flag which
causes it to exec an external helper for that (which in turn can
be easily customized by distros / users).

By the way: if anybody doing some patching at that front, just let me
know ... I'd like to use these patches on Trusty.
