Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux If a policykit dialogue appears one can open the details and see what action the dialogue is about. The action is a link and if one hovers it it states "click to edit org…" Yet clicking on it does nothing. Clicking on "Vendor" opens ~/Documents – not sure how that is related to "Vendor". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Trigger a policykit dialogue, e.g. via systemsettings. Click on the links for Action and Vendor Actual Results: Nothing happens for "Action" ~/Documents opens for "Vendor" Expected Results: Open an editor (module) to edit the "Action" settings Not sure what "Vendor" should do, but opening ~/Documents in a browser seems useless
Confirmed with source build environment. It always got the actionId is "org.kde.polkitkde1.readauthorizations", the vendorName as "System policy settings" and empty vendorUrl, and also I doubt Application entry will be empty at all due to looks nothing to feed m_appname. I am not sure that its a available function but it seems not useful currently. Steps to reproduce: 1. SystemSettings -> Actions Policy 2. choice any policy then authentication dialog pop-up -> click Details button then there shows more information of this action 3. click Action or Vendor, and saw empty Application entry or try "kcmshell4 kcm_polkitactions"
Confirming, this happens when you don't have the kcm_polkitactions module installed. Will decide what to do about it...

The vendor link is now a proper web link and opens correctly in 6.3
