I've been thinking about exactly this issue. As for supporting
PolicyKit in the upstream release, we ought to be able to get away with
dlopening libpolkit-dbus.so.2 at runtime and using the helpers from that
if they exist. I've got a prototype that I threw together that I'll try
to clean up and attach at some point. However, I'm no PolicyKit guru so
I don't know if the approach I took is the right one.
Alberto, do you know if there's a standard PolicyKit action for writing
the X config? If not, I could just add
com.nvidia.settings.write-x-configuration and have the .policy file be
part of the nvidia-settings package. There's a
org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set ("Manage system configuration"),
but that seems overly vague.
