FWIW, the BZ Rick is referring to is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1581495
But, to see the problem one must also have pam-kwallet installed. On my pure Xfce
F29 system...
[root@f28xfce pam.d]# rpm -qa | grep kwallet
[root@f28xfce pam.d]#
And, as I've noted, I'm not seeing any PolicyKit Agent error
I also do not have kwallet. But I get the PolicyKit Agent error on a
fresh system boot. I looked into the service status and I see a line:
├─ 934 /usr/libexec/xfce-polkit
So perhaps the difference is running vncserver as a service and maybe
the login is trying to start a second copy?
Next I need to build a F28 image and try that. Meanwhile I will take
this to the test list.
