Marlin uses gvfs, right? If we could implement policykit in gvfs, a lot of applications would benifit from it: Gedit (if you modify a text file you don't have permission to), Gimp (if you modify a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers etc) and many other Gnome applications. I'm not sure if GNOME wants this feature since they probably don't believe the average user needs this. We either have to convince them, or we could fork gvfs and make our own.

Here's a bug report on GNOME bugzilla concidering this:
