Rex is right, it's a runtime dependency for "policykit enabled" applications. It exposes a D-Bus interface you're supposed to call to allow the user to get credentials. Yes, there's a GTK+ based equivalent which exposes the same interface since said interface is shared... still, at runtime you expect *something* to expose this interface. On another note, it's pretty interesting to see that we're apparently trying to take an uninformed decision. I mean, it's apparently unclear to most of the people what it is, and did anyone actually toroughly review it? I admit I wanted to do it but didn't find the time to make a proper review, otoh after a couple of tests I gave up trying to make it work (seems I tried it too early though, got stabilized in the meantime afaik).
