Agreed. reassigning to system-tools-backends. > There's an explicit <deny > send_destination="org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends"/> in there, > which is specifically what e.g. nautilus is calling. > > If I add <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends" > send_interface="org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends" send_member="get" > send_type="method_call"/> to the default policy > in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf, it looks like I > don't get the message anymore. Is this a correct fix? Depends on how s-t-b works. Usually such an interface should be limited to a specific user/group or by at_console. If s-t-b is using PolicyKit internally to authorise the method calls, then it can open up it's dbus interface to everyone.
