Kind of thinking we may have fixed this already.  The PolicyKit
documentation has recently been updated, to reflect the new(er) way of
doing things with it:

   http://libvirt.org/auth.html#ACL_server_polkit

and

   http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHPolicyKitSetup

Just checked Gerd's patch, and the PolicyKit-0 stuff seems useful, as
well as the example (which I haven't tested).

Might be useful to incorporate. :)
