Bug Description

In a gnome session I'm expecting the gtk/gnome version of the policykit authorization dialog when trying to change whatever policykit manages (, although I have indeed got kde installed.)
The problem, I think, lies in
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/kde-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent.service
If you change this file to point to the gnome variant of the policykit manager, all goes well. But then it breaks when you're in KDE.

Why does a kde-org.freedeskto[....] file influence settings when you're in a gnome-session?
