Otherwise the session could outlive the dialogue, emit a subsequent
signal, and its callback would reference finalised objects/widgets from
the dialogue. The PolkitSession object is implemented by
libpolkit-gobject, so we have no guarantees about its reference counting
— the session object could keep itself alive in another thread, or be a
singleton. In all likelihood, the session hangs around for longer than
the dialogue due to differences in when the two objects are garbage
collected.
This can be triggered by running `pkexec true` from a gnome-terminal
window, then calling `pkill pkexec` from another terminal (on a
different VT or via SSH). This causes the dialogue to be cancelled by
polkitd.
