Polkit dependency is not really optional for the GUI #613

Closed sbraz closed 1 year ago

Hi, As reported here, the GUI does not start if Polkit is not installed. There is a condition here that works: https://github.com/sahib/rmlint/blob/2711b84bb264b41015d718b06b0e5be065d42ebc/gui/shredder/views/editor.py#L25-L28

However, this condition is not optional: https://github.com/sahib/rmlint/blob/2711b84bb264b41015d718b06b0e5be065d42ebc/gui/shredder/__init__.py#L11

Could you please look into making Polkit really optional?
