[Bug 912106] [NEW] PolicyKit KDE dialog, asking for password, should preselect the current user

[Donatas Glodenis]

Public bug reported:

This is a wish, so please forward it to the appropriate place if needed.

PolicyKit KDE dialog,  when asking for password, presents an empty user
field even if the current user has the sudo privileges – I think it
should preselect the current user and not ask for this extra step (in
absolutely most cases it is an extra step). I do not know if it is
possible to detect the users with  appropriate privileges at runtime
without a practical trial, but if it is, and the current user does not
have those privileges, leaving the field empty would be normal in that
case.
