While setting up some additional applications I began to notice some of them didnt work as intended and/or I was getting Authentication Failed errors. After some research I found a thread that mentioned running the following command in a terminal and then trying the GUI application again.
$ /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
This worked. Now the only problem is how do I properly make this a permanent fix?
Ive tried a number of things such as:
creating an autostart script
running the command from awesome/rc.lua
moving usr/share/applications/pollkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop to /etc/xdg/autostart
reinstalling polkit-gnome...
nothing has worked (or Im doing it improperly). I feel like I have exhausted all my options so any help is greatly appreciated!

I figured out what I was doing wrong when calling a autostart script from awesome/rc.lua.
Not happy with the solution as it seems like a hack to me since Ive never had to do this with any of my previous installs, but at least its working.
