I don't understand the full workings, but basically an authentication
agent is used by an application to run as another user, e.g. in this
case I am running virt-manager as a normal user, and the authentication
agent (when running) pops up and lets me run the application by giving
root credentials. Without this, virt-manager will not let me access the
virtual machines.

I could probably put the command in one of the init files, but I am sure
other users must have similar applications and wonder if there is a
better way to resolve authentication?
