When I first started getting into windows managers (i3 was the first) I used policykit-1-gnome. I never really strayed from that after several iterations and now using dwm for better than a year.
My question; If I were to drop the above policy kit in favor of policykit-1, would I be removing any functionality, more to the point, what are the benefits of one over the other?
EDIT: I am assuming (perhapos a bad idea) that the main benefit of using policykit-1-gnome, is the graphical prompting maybe?

I use lxpolkit agent for graphical prompt in my openbox installation. It's lightweight and nice.

Interesting. I assume that it's installed since I see that in my installation. I did remove the gnome kit and all seems to be working as expected.Victor Brand wrote: ↑2021-09-12 01:56 I use lxpolkit agent for graphical prompt in my openbox installation. It's lightweight and nice.

Re: polkits for window managers
Really the password dialog is a waste anyway. The user invoking the action should be enough. Since everything can have a pkla rule it works, or for someone without rights there's no response. So other than leaning over someone to type in a password, what's the use case?

Re: polkits for window managers
This is what I am trying to determine - cleaning up my install of apps that don't need to there.
