Source: mate-polkit Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
As policykit-1-gnome is slated for removal from Trixie (#990271), and it's the most generic policykit agent, it would be quite useful if mate-polkit could be utilized on other desktops. In https://bugs.debian.org/990259 there was a discussion where mate-polkit could be useful to Cinnamon, and I would find it useful on an Xfce desktop. Below is a patch to mate-polkit's desktop file to allow it to run on other desktops, of course you may prefer to expand the whitelist rather than simply blacklisting KDE and GNOME. Thanks! ~Unit 193 Unit193 @ OFTC Unit193 @ Libera Description: Allow mate-polkit to be used in Xfce, Cinnamon, etc. --- src/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop.in.in | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/src/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop.in.in +++ b/src/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop.in.in @@ -5,5 +5,5 @@ Exec=@FULL_LIBEXECDIR@/polkit-mate-authe Terminal=false Type=Application NoDisplay=true -OnlyShowIn=MATE; +NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE; X-MATE-AutoRestart=true
