Development
-----------
When developing malcontent, you should be able to run an uninstalled version of
`malcontent-client` or `malcontent-control`, as long as the polkit files from
`accounts-service/` and `malcontent-control/org.freedesktop.MalcontentControl.policy.in`
have been installed system-wide (typically under `/usr/share/polkit-1`) where
your system copy of polkitd can find them.
