Thanks for testing. Looks like something LXDE team would like to know
about. I guess the LXDE spin kickstart should be adjusted to not include
polkit-gnome, if that's practical?

polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop has "NotShowIn=KDE;" but
lacks LXDE. I requested this on the desktop list more than half a year
ago, but so far nothing has happened. Therefor I opened
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622580 now.
