Description-en: MATE authentication agent for PolicyKit-1 (executable wrapper script)
The mate-polkit package provides a D-Bus session bus service that is used to
bring up authentication dialogs used for obtaining privileges.
.
This package contains an executable wrapper script for the MATE policy kit
authentication agent.
.
This package eases using mate-polkit as PolicyKit-1 authentication agent on
non-MATE desktop environments that don't auto-launch their own authentication
agent (e.g., i3, awesome, ratpoison and alike).
