Same here. I was going to simply remove the package, but it's tied to
pretty much all the vital packages for the gnome desktop.

Within 5 hours my system becomes unresponsive. This morning, when trying
to log back into my computer at work, my system was unresponsive. I had
to just restart to clean everything up.

The only way to keep the system stable is to loop-kill polkitd, since
gnome insists on restarting the stupid thing. I have created a startup
script that'll work as a band-aid fix to keep systems from crashing, but
it's not a solution.

As for thoughts about this being related to puleaudio... removal of the
.pulse directory achieved nothing.  Attempt to remove pulseaudio also
results in the same crash.

At this point, I'd have to say the best course of action is to roll back
GNOME to the version used in 9.10, which worked. Right now, systems are
unstable because of this.
