Prevent multiple prompts for the root password in Nutty
Registered by
Siddhartha Das
Currently, Nutty asks for the sudo privilege password every time the user interacts with a feature in Nutty that requires root privileges. This is because gksudo is invoked for every action requiring root privileges.
Polkit will be replacing gksudo for commands that require root privileges. a policy file for nutty will define the actions and <allow_
