Alright, so I'm working on a PolicyKit1 authentication agent and have
run into something of a problem.  I am working on implementing this
dbus method:

http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/eggdbus-interface-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.AuthenticationAgent.html#eggdbus-method-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.AuthenticationAgent.BeginAuthentication

I am unmarshaling the command and all that just fine inside a callback
function that was specified in when setting up BeginAuthentication via
e_dbus_interface_method_add. 

The problem is that I have to somehow popup a window to authenticate
the user before calling AuthenticationAgentResponse and also before I
send the reply for BeginAuthentication.

Given that while I'm in the callback, the elm main loop will not be
running, I'm not sure how to popup the dialog without returning from
the callback and thus replying to the dbus message before making the
call to AuthenticationAgentResponse().

Will I need to fork off a process to do the GUI part of the app while
leaving another process to do the DBus communication or is there
something I'm missing?

Been hoping to see some dbus gurus in #edevel, but seems I keep
missing them so hoping someone can enlighten me :)
