Comment 15 for bug 833058

Ok I didn't realise it was that complicated. In my case I install a 'Kubuntu' system by first installing Ubuntu and then installing the kubuntu-desktop metapackage, since I want to have all the config tools that come with Ubuntu and I find some of the GTK apps better than any QT-based alternative (GIMP, Firefox, Libreoffice etc.).

So if kubuntu-desktop always installed polkit-kde-1 like you suggest this should be enough to solve the problem for me, and for most people I guess. But that wasn't the case with 11.10 when I installed it a few months ago.
