Most parts of kde just work fine without *kit. The problem is with |
| 25 |
gnome applications, but it is alternatives in most (all?) cases, and I |
| 26 |
can live without gnome. I was never fan of it. |

As me, you made a choice. GNU/linux is not about freedom, but also |
| 29 |
about choice, because freedom is also the freedom of choice. I will not |
| 30 |
force you to remove clementine from your system, so don't force me to |
| 31 |
install *kit. If some day in the future, it is no other choice about |
| 32 |
*kit than to install it, I just will shift to another OS. I don't want |
| 33 |
it and this is not negotiable. If GNU/linux become like windows, thanks |
| 34 |
to polkit, I will choose the tangent and find an alternative. |

My choice was to remove all the apps that depend on an idiotic software |
| 37 |
that cause severe regressions into my system (startx that doesn't work |
| 38 |
without to run *kit, that when my desktop, fvwm-crystal, know nothing |
| 39 |
about it! and auto mounting that doesn't worked any more). So, the only |
| 40 |
3 things that made polkit for me was 1) to screw up a good working |
| 41 |
system, 2) to force me to run the totaly non needed daemon that screwed |
| 42 |
up my system and is a waste of system resources, and last but not least, |
| 43 |
3) to force me to run a software that screwed up my system and that is |
| 44 |
totally non manageable. |
