Could it be that modifying the file
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.spice-space.lowlevelusbaccess.policy
that is part of spice-glib rpm I can bypass this?

I read about it in RHE 6.4 release notes, but I didn't find mention in
the docs on how to change it...

Currently on my fedora 17 client the file contains what below; how is
it supposed to be changed?

Thanks
