This worked for me - it appears a policykit startup program was launching a KDE rather than a gnome version.

The solution is:

System/Preferences/Startup Applications

Under the Startup Programs tab uncheck PolicyKit Authentication Agent. Click on Add to create a new startup program. In the Add Startup Program window enter the following in the Command: box -

/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

In the Name: box give the new startup program a name -I called mine gnome Policy Kit. Click on save and have this as the new 'policykit startup program'. I can now install programs from the Software Centre.
