+Subject: Remove support for passing gui QVariants to KAuth helpers
+
+Supporting gui variants is very dangerous since they can end up triggering
+image loading plugins which are one of the biggest vectors for crashes, which
+for very smart people mean possible code execution, which is very dangerous
+in code that is executed as root.
+
+We've checked all the KAuth helpers inside KDE git and none seems to be using
+gui variants, so we're not actually limiting anything that people wanted to do.
+
+Reviewed by security@kde.org and Aleix Pol
