[tde-users] R14.1.3 and polkit?

I updated my system from 14.1.2 to 14.1.3. I no longer could launch tools as root using pkexec. Testing in the command line indicates some kind of polkit issue. Found some related discussion on the web but as usual, little help. I tested the same in KDE and had no problems. I noticed in KDE there is a polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 process running. No such process in TDE, but I don't recall anything like that in previous versions of TDE. Kind of implies something in 14.1.3 changed to expect a polkit agent. On a whim I created a $TDEHOME/Autostart desktop file to launch the KDE polkit agent. I then could again launch tools as root with pkexec. I am going to presume I missed the memo somewhere. Did something related change in 14.1.3? The wiki seemed to imply there now is a TDE polkit agent but there is no such package here. Thanks.
