Bug Description

Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome

Hi,

in my opinion, policykit's "remove gained permissions" icon on panel should not do it only by clicking to it. I think that when user saw the icon, he would be interested in what the icon mean and he may click to it. But it can immediately broke some processes eg software update.

My proposal is to make simple dialog with question like "do you really want to ..." when mouse clicked on the icon.

Thanks.
