[system-tools] Request for testing: Port to PolicyKit1

[Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimilan club fr>]

Hello to all gnome-system-tools supporters...


I've just committed a patch that ports the gnome-system-tools to
PolicyKit1. This new version of PolicyKit is the new blessed external
dependency; it will be widely used in GNOME 2.28 and is much cleaner to
use (it allowed me to remove much code from our tools).

To be consistent with the rest of the desktop, I'd like that change to
go into 2.28, which is only two beta releases away. So I'm making a call
for testers! The gnome-system-tools 2.27.3 should be released this week,
and be shipped with GNOME 2.27.91 on the August 24th. Hopefully,
distributions will ship them even before that in their development
versions, which will make it easy to test in a fully working
environment.

Don't hesitate to report bugs, I'll try to address them as fast as
possible. In the event of a major breakage of the g-s-t, I'll revert
that change for the release candidate on September 7th. Thanks for your
contribution!
