I don't expect that many applications will use PolicyKit in Ubuntu 8.04.
But PolicyKit really seems to be very nice.

PolicyKit even allows to use the administration capplets/applications
without authentication: A little lock is shown on buttons that require
administrative privileges and you only have to authenticate if you
actually click on them.

But I am going to try to merge the resolution changing capplet into the
screen and graphics preferences for Hardy.

Cheers,

Sebastian
