Hi

The application has to be written to use policykit, it's not just a drop-in replacement for sudo or something that can be changed on the fly. To move an application over to policykit you would have to use the policykit API when writing or modifying the source code.

Is there a way for a user to get into policykit?

In particular I love the way that two of the mentioned utilities, date/time and user/groups settings, deal with security. It's better, and it doesn't break Orca's functionality.
