<PRE>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 = '&quot;GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject&quot;'
     JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '&quot;/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/polkitAgent.js&quot;'
     JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '329'
     JS ERROR: !!!     stack = '&quot;0 anonymous()@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/polkitAgent.js:329

2 anonymous(&quot;name&quot; = &quot;&quot;polkitAgent&quot;&quot;)@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/__init__.js:56
3 wrapper(&quot;&quot;polkitAgent&quot;&quot;)@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:204
4 anonymous(&quot;name&quot; = &quot;&quot;polkitAgent&quot;&quot;, 1, [object Array])@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/__init__.js:22
5 anonymous()@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/components/__init__.js:21

10 anonymous()@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:239
11 start()@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/main.js:150
12 &lt;TOP LEVEL&gt;@&lt;main&gt;:1
&quot;'

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
