I went looking for what starts the agent, and found it here:

test@frohro-e6410:/etc/xdg/autostart$ cat polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=PolicyKit Authentication Agent
Comment=PolicyKit Authentication Agent
Exec=/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
NoDisplay=true
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;Unity;
X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true
AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=polkit-gnome-1

I also checked my local ~/.config/autostart directory and there is nothing to start it there.
