The problem does not occur for me with GNOME fallback (installed from
the gnome-session-fallback package). Is policykit-1-gnome not
intended for use with XFCE? Since it was installed automatically as a
recommends of xfce4 (through gvfs), I assumed it was the one
recommended for XFCE.
Additionally, I noticed that polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 does
reliably start on second and subsequent logins. It is only during the
first login (which is automatic as part of boot) that it fails.
