Description Leszek Lesner 2017-05-23 11:30:27 UTC 
When applying a new theme It shows a DBus backend error after 25-30 seconds. 

The reason for this is that the Kauth call to the helper uses the default timeout. 
However helper itself has a timeout of 60seconds for the update-initramfs -u command. 

We need to set a timeout for the Kauth action to at least 60seconds aswell then. 
Though in general having a UI frozen for 60 seconds is a bit odd aswell. 
So it needs a progressbar or at least a Hint that shows it is working 
(Like a big overlay fading in ontop of the kcm showing a label "Working ... ")

That patch landed years ago; marking as fixed.
