This is a small guide on How to fix GDBus Error org freedesktop PolicyKit1 Error Failed : An authentication agent already exists for the given subject error in Kali, LMDE or Debian Linux.
How to fix GDBus Error org freedesktop PolicyKit1 Error Failed
Background:
I use gdm3+XFCE on my box (amd64, Kali Linux). When I start my XFCE session, I have been getting this error message
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject
Even starting a new XFCE session will not help. So far, it looks that this error message has no consequences, but it is annoying. I found a way to fix this, sharing for interested readers.
Screenshots were taken from Kali Linux
root@kali:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux Kali Linux 1.0 Release: Kali Linux 1.0 Codename: n/a root@kali:~#
I am using XFCE desktop/window manager.
To fix this go to Application Menu > Settings > Session and Startup >
Now un-check LXPolkit from Application Autostart tab. Click on Close.
That’s it, you won’t see that error message again.
Conclusion
GDBus Error org freedesktop PolicyKit1 Error Failed is a common issue in many Linux Operating systems which is not just limited to Kali Linux or Debian Linux.

useful to me :)
Thanks: I installed XFCE over LXDE w/o reformatting (desiring to keep my /HOME folder). LXDE still shows up as a Login option, as well. Really, I should back up my home folder to this new USB stub I have in front of myself and reformat, first. (Really, I should get my lifestyle into a manner where I may purchase an old Italian villa–thus being able to recline and eat with friends–always poking verbal holes into politicians, while servants busily fan all of us with huge fronds–enjoying life as a carefree (and, careless) patrician Roman might! OK–something spiritual nudged me and chided a few moments ago!: Just now, I opened the package for the stub!)
I have multiple users and don’t use lxde much, so I just did: sudo apt-get remove lxpolkit
