PolicyKit KDE dialog, asking for password, should preselect the current user

[Donatas Glodenis]

This is a wish, so please forward it to the appropriate place if needed.

PolicyKit KDE dialog, when asking for password, presents an empty user field even if the current user has the sudo privileges – I think it should preselect the current user and not ask for this extra step (in absolutely most cases it is an extra step). I do not know if it is possible to detect the users with appropriate privileges at runtime without a practical trial, but if it is, and the current user does not have those privileges, leaving the field empty would be normal in that case.
