Bug Description

When trying to reload Lxsession through the command line: /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE

I get the following error:
GDBus.error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject

I think that this due to the default lxsession for authentication is LxPolkit (which is incorrect as it is not installed in Lubuntu 13.10) instead of gnome. So, the easy fix is change the config file setting to gnome, or actually use LxPolkit.

Added note: changing Polkit to Gnome seems to prevent synaptic-pkexec (the command to start Synaptic with permissions) from working...
