Yeah, we specifically don't restart dbus because of that.

But I guess we could still send SIGHUP to polkitd.

I'm not sure how to find out which polkitd it is - if we don't want to restart a superset.

Also, pstree says that polkitd forked and started another polkitd.  There are two polkitd.  Which one has to get the SIGHUP?
