NetworkManager polkit Issues

Hi,

since some days, after booting my Thinkpad X140e with lightdm/XFCE, Networkmanager is in a broken state:

Mär 19 15:14:26 ostrea NetworkManager[753]: <error> [1521468866.5500] auth: could not get polkit proxy: Fehler beim Aufruf von StartS>
Mär 19 15:14:26 ostrea NetworkManager[753]: <warn>  [1521468866.5762] supplicant: failed to acquire wpa_supplicant proxy: Wi-Fi and 8>
Mär 19 15:14:28 ostrea NetworkManager[753]: <warn>  [1521468868.6480] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable>
Mär 19 15:14:28 ostrea NetworkManager[753]: <warn>  [1521468868.6481] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep->
Mär 19 15:14:28 ostrea NetworkManager[753]: <warn>  [1521468868.6481] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable>

polkit-gnome is installed and also running:

 1102 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
 1130 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug

After "systemctl restart NetworkManager" NetworkManager works again, but I have no clue why is has the polkit issues at startup. And to make the confusion complete, my X230 used at works does not have this issue.
