--- Comment #5 from smihael <smih...@gmail.com> --- It would still be beneficial to be able to elevate the permissions for the entire app. Krusader (root mode) is a good example of a tool that benefits from this approach. When you search through the filesystems, certain files might only be accessible as superuser and it would be annoying to have polkit popup asking for the password each time you want to enter such a directory.
