Hi Please review the following patch. A new section was added talking about the polkit-gnome agent that is required if you want to have a working polkit environment on openbox. Moreover, the ck-launch-session command was updated to reflect the more recent changes that X is using when starting a session through a login manager

No problem; I agree with you.
I see what you're getting at; I got the info into the doc. Fixed in CVS; should be live in ~1 hour or so.

Polkit has replaced Policykit. Also, you could mention the polkit-kde which is the equivalent Qt4 agent. polkit-gnome is the GTK agent Can you please merge this info?

There are more gtk+ utilities and apps mentioned in the guide than Qt tools. Users don't need to install both, do they? If so, I could just say something about "foo for gtk apps and bar for qt apps." I'll fix the polkit thing; I thought "polkit" was just a shorthand reference to "PolicyKit."

Just those two. > > I'll fix the polkit thing; I thought "polkit" was just a shorthand reference to > "PolicyKit." > Nope this is why you need to make it clear that we are talking about polkit, not the obsolete policykit :)
All fixed. Notes added for polkit-qt, so be sure to look over the guide and make sure I didn't miss anything. Should be live in <1 hour.

Ugh, polkit-kde requires installing all the base kde-* packages, whereas polkit-gnome doesn't require that at all. That's not acceptable when trying to create the lightweight desktop outlined in this guide. I think I'll just remove the kde/qt reference entirely for now; sorry for the earlier mistake.
