polkit could also be used for the whole process of deciding whether a
screenshot action is allowed or not:
* The compositor would first request authorization for the screenshot
action to polkit;
* polkit would check if the action is legitimate using the
authorization
rules defined on the system;
* If no rules matches, a dialog requesting confirmation by the user is
displayed;
* If the polkit answer is positive, the compositor would launch the
screenshot application.
Adding rules is a little bit more difficult in this case, but this has
the advantage of reusing an already developed architecture.

Sounds like a good plan but I still don't understand why the application
must be started by the compositor. What exactly is the benefit?
