Description Christoph Wickert 2011-02-13 20:47:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
/etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop only contains
"NotShowIn=KDE;" and lacks "LXDE". This leads to bug reports as in bug 657006

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
polkit-gnome-0.97-8.fc15

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LXDE on a default Fedora installation
2. Log into LXDE
  
Actual results:
Error message from polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent
already exists for the given subject

Expected results:
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 should not be started in LXDE by default.
Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2011-04-16 23:56:44 UTC 
This was fixed by moving the /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop into the gnome-session package and making it OnlyShowIn=GNOME. For more info refer to http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-February/000758.html

I don't really like this solution but it fixes the problem for LXDE.
