The names of interfaces and objects changed a bit since 0.6 to 0.7 to make it desktop agnostic (so in some future if the user is running non-GNOME he will get a native authentication agent etc.); this is what you should use http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/model-authentication-agent.html http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit-gnome/ref-auth-daemon.html There is no ShowDialog() any more. Does that clear it up?
