Bug description:
  This SRU request is to resolve a number of budgie-polkit-dialog
  crashes reported to the UB team through
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/64efb30df94e62a4f216cfdb387d6e2d3eb12048.

  for cosmic and bionic in the master SRU LP: #1824229

  [Impact]

   * Issue 1: Aim to resolve a number of polkit crashes reported on errors.ubuntu.com due
  to Polkit dialogs still having an open process when dismissed

     This backports a disco patch to both series targets. Whilst ack
  that 19.04 has not been released, examining errors.ubuntu.com
  (https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/64efb30df94e62a4f216cfdb387d6e2d3eb12048)
  shows just one reported polkit issues to-date.

  [Test Case]

   * Issue 1: polkit crashes. This bug is very difficult to pin down and reliably reproduce.
     It is surmised by examining the crash reports that the budgie polkit process is crashing due to window close down and memory cleanup areas.
     - Run pkexec gnome-calculator from a terminal.
     - Press cancel on the authentication dialog.  Note that the terminal prompt is not redisplayed indicating that the polkit dialog is still active but hidden.  Press CTRL+C to force a quit.
     - To upgrade budgie-desktop on 18.04 - Enable the proposed channel.  Install the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0 libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0
     - To upgrade budgie-desktop on 18.10 - Enable the proposed channel.  Install the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0 libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0 libbudgie-private0
     - Repeat pkexec gnome-calculator and press cancel.  The terminal prompt is redisplayed indicating that the polkit dialog has been successfully closed.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Issue 1: Due to the nature of the crashes observed (unexplained
  crashes in glib, wnck libraries), it is highly unlikely that this fix
  alone will resolve all polkit issues.  In terms of regression the
  number of "system error" prompts with a polkit headline after a reboot
  and login will be either the same or reduced - but such messages can
  be ticked by a user via the system error dialog to not appear again.
