polkit is better integrated into various environments, both console and GUI
and offers better access rules and prevents the internal need to run
su which is prone to errors and doesn't offer an environment agnostic
prompt to the user.
Under the old scheme, the binaries relating to the three main tools
covered in this package behaved differently. Keyboard and Mouse are
allowed to be run without any password prompts, whereas X11 prompts for
the *user* password. This is only true when run as their 'old' names of
keyboarddrake, mousedrake and XFdrake respectively. If they are called
via their 'new' names of drakkeyboard, drakmouse and drakx11, they would
prompt for the root password.
This change also standardises that behaviour. The tools now follow the
scheme specified for their old names, regardless of how they are called.
