That link.

The code for that link is commented out, as it calls the authorization manager,
which is not planned to be ported to polkit-1. I'm not sure what the alternative
would be in the polkit-1 world, but if it doesn't do anything it shouldn't be linked.

See around line 678 of src/polkitgnomeauthenticationdialog.c in the
policykit-1-gnome source package for where the link is created.

Thanks,

James

And what is the way to configure it without that application?
Editing configuration files? Where can I find a guide?
