My Fedora contact told me about consolehelper which they use now and PolicyKit which they plan on moving to next release. PolicyKit actually looks pretty cool, even with desktop integration (using dbus, sorry Aaron). Gnome will be moving to PolicyKit soon. Hopefully KDE will follow.
PolicyKit is also an fd.o project, so it's pretty mainstream.
There aren't really any easy solutions to this. It's a tough problem that no one has solved generally.
Sounds a bit overboard. Seriously, Phil actually proposed a solution... he said "here's a script, do this", why are we looking for other solutions? Or is this premature optimization?
