Depiction of the dialog.

SUMMARY
Allow PolicyKit to show the details pane expanded by default, because the current implementation incentivises the user to ignore the prompt or enter their details without verifying what is invoking it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Invoke KDE Partition Manager

OBSERVED RESULT
The prompt appears, not providing any information about it.

EXPECTED RESULT
This might be preferable to some for whatever reason, but not for me, and certainly not for those to whom security is important.
