I took another look at polkit's and gnome-shell's source code. I |
| 17 |
didn't do it before since I have work to do and (as I said) the |
| 18 |
problems are somewhat workaroundables. After looking at the code, the |
| 19 |
plot thickens: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
gnome-shell registers itself to polkit as a PolkitUnixSession: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/src/shell-polkit-authentication-agent.c?id=3.4.2#n106 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
polkit will not deal with that in subject_to_jsval: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/polkit/tree/src/polkitbackend/polkitbackendjsauthority.c?id=0.107#n730 |
| 28 |
|

The funny thing? Both code paths were written by David Zeuthen, which |
| 30 |
by the way is the one handling the bug. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It gets better: I changed gnome-shell's code so it registers itself as |
| 33 |
PolkitUnixProcess (which supposedly is handled by subject_to_jsval), |
| 34 |
and I put printf's in the function subject_to_jsval. It turns out |
| 35 |
that, no matter that it actually gets registered as unix-process, |
| 36 |
gnome-shell it's also registered (at some point) as unix-session. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
My feeling is that gnome-shell should get registered as |
| 39 |
system-bus-name (which it does), and that should be the "primary" |
| 40 |
interface of gnome-shell for polkit. However, in Gentoo (I haven't |
| 41 |
found any other mention of this bug in any other distro), somehow the |
| 42 |
unix-session interface takes control. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I updated the bug: |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53905 |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
and I hope David will respond soon. |
