The gnome agent was starting in 14.1.2 because the TDE polkit-tde package did not yet exist. In 14.1.3 the TDE agent launches but fails to function. When launched from a terminal window, pkexec hangs. When repeating with strace, there is a terminating error 'pkexec must be setuid root'. Searching the web did not help and as might be guessed, /usr/bin/pkexec is indeed setuid.
Not running the TDE polkit agent and letting either the KDE or GNOME agent launch on startup results in pkexec working as expected.
