Thunderbolt devices need to be approved before they can be used.
This is done via the boltd system daemon and gnome-shell. The new
panel enables the user to manage thunderbolt devices, i.e.:
- forget devices that have previously been authorized
- authorize currently unauthorize devices
Additionally authorization of devices an be temporarily disabled
to ensure no evil device will gain access to the computers
resources.
