commit 9b0e1ae4f18a57f9aff2f89ccc156f0a4c46580f Author: Richard Hughes <richard> Date: Mon Jun 7 16:13:36 2010 +0100 Do not require PolicyKit to get the brightness values as these are already accessible by all users This also fixes the random dialog when launching a session using VNC :100644 100644 b89f7dc... 27aed09...

I am also getting this. It is annoying.
When are you pushing this update?
(In reply to comment #3) > When are you pushing this update? I'm stuck in limbo, as rawhide is so unstable for me. GLib needs to do a new upstream release so I can dep on it for the GApplication changes. There's a srpm here if you're feeling brave: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/fedora/13/SRPMS/ Richard.
