This problem has affected me also. Lucid AMD64 was installed as an upgrade from an alternate installation of Ubuntu 9.10. The admin account gets the problem above. I created another admin account and it is not affected by the problem. polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 is started properly. But it will not start using the old admin account. I have tried removing all config files (directories beginning with a . in their names) but the problem persists. I thought this information can help.
