Dear Ulrich and developers Thank you for your reply. So as discussed option a) connecting with "Custom Desktop" will start a NEW session and results in permission prompts, which are not the case with option b. Most users I believe would like to feel as if they are sitting in front of their machine, hence this behaviour undermines this goal.
Yes, you need to adapt the polkit configuration but I don't know what exactly needs to be done. Some links that might point into the right direction:

Sunweaver has been dealing with polkit stuff recently but he's on vacation so we cannot ask ATM. I'll set him on cc:
Sorry for the inconvenience,
