[Mageia-dev] Problems with gnome-shell and polkit

[JA Magallón]

Hi...

After latest updates GDM works again, but
I get a sad-computer-screen-of-death when I try to log in in Gnome.
The culprit seems to be the gnome-shell / polkit interaction.
With startx from vconsole I get this on .xsession-errors:

Window manager warning: Log level 16: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject
     JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: Polkit.Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject
     JS ERROR: !!!     message = '"GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject"'
     JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/polkitAgent.js"'

"'

If I comment this in /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/polkitAgent.js, at least I
can log in again:

     enable: function() {
         //this._native.register();
     },

     disable: function() {
         //this._native.unregister();
     },

I have this versions of polkit:

lib64polkit1_0-0.107-1.mga3 x86_64
lib64polkit-gir1.0-0.107-1.mga3 x86_64
polkit-0.107-1.mga3 x86_64
polkit-desktop-policy-0.107-1.mga3 noarch
polkit-gnome-0.105-1.mga2 x86_64

Perhaps polkit-gnome is out of sync ?

TIA
