I have had this problem pre beta images. This is the F29-armfhp code base.
I am running vnc server as a service. I have edited the xstartup to have:

Note that currently, the is no .Xresources file.
I do not know why you're doing that. But, I haven't.
When I connect to the system after a fresh boot or vncserver restart I get a
dialog
with:
Error XFCE PolicyKit Agent
Ed Greshko reported on the Fedora list (as I thought this was a more general
VNC/Xfce error having nothing to do with the beta) that he does not get this
error,
but he is NOT running vncserver as a service. Rather from an SSH session.
I have configured by f28 system to run vncsever as a service and I see the error
you're reporting.
I believe I understand why the error is presented.
If you start the vncserver you'll see something like this
polkitd 706 1 0 22:31 ? 00:00:02 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd
--no-debug
egreshko 3527 3497 2 22:58 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/xfce-polkit
running
When you make a vnc client connection, you get the error and then you'll see
only
polkitd 706 1 0 22:31 ? 00:00:03 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd
--no-debug
running. /usr/libexec/xfce-polkit has crashed. Why? I have no idea at 23:00.
Since I could not get my F28 working for vnc login to Xfce, I went back
to my F29 image.
I disabled polkit startup in the Xfce startup widget and rebooted.
Now I don't get the PolicyKit error, but no change in being able to
mount an USB drive or unlock printer config to add a printer.
So I suspect that Polkit should be left on in Xfce, but get the xstartup
right so it does not also run polkit.
Which gets back to an earlier thread:
We DON'T know how to run DE other than Gnome for vncserver. It would be
very nice for some guidance on this.
And with this, past time to shutdown. Catch you later.
