Hi!, this is cool stuff. I am CCing Thomas, Jörg and Michael because they
were 
looking at this too. Justin, are you doing your research on some public

==========================

Not yet... We'll need some updated packages in openSUSE first... PackageKit
requires dbus 1.1 and PolicyKit 0.5. We currently have dbus 1.0 and
PolicyKit 0.4 in 10.3 B3. My plan was for tonight to create updated RPMs for
myself using the new code, and then get started coding tonight.
