Two things: 1. Please don't do this - just use libpolkit-agent-1.so instead, it's much easier and it's better if we are all using the same code. Especially since this code is security-sensitive and involves passwords and whatnot. 2. polkit-agent-helper-1's interface is *NOT* public - it's a private implementation detail of libpolkit-agent-1.so. So you can't just use it in your re-implementation. E.g. its interface *can* and *will* change as the innards of libpolkit-agent-1.so change. So don't use it in your re-implementation (feel free to copy-paste it, license permitting etc.). Make no mistake: the only stable interfaces in polkit are the D-Bus interface and the libpolkit-gobject-1.so library (the libpolkit-agent-1.so library is still considered unstable). I can't force you to follow this advice and you are of course free to re-implement and re-invent whatever code you want (and occasionally doing so is a healthy exercise but sometimes it also isn't). But I just don't have time to support this effort (my time is limited as I'm working on a lot of other stuff), hope you understand.
