PolicyKit was originally developed for Gnome, but is also used by KDE.

KDE requires a wrapper, polkit-qt.
Unfortunately, recent versions of PolicyKit have some major changes, which are 
not compatible with polkit-qt. There is a polkit-qt-1, which uses the new 
PolicyKit,but this is only available from svn, and is not a plugin 
replacement.

Proper support for recent PolicyKit will only happen in kde-4.5, which about a 
year away.

If you want PolicyKit support with KDE, you must revert to an older version of 
PolicyKit >= 0.90, < 0.94
