The key point here is "add [something] to the startup".

When installed, lxpolkit does not appear in
Settings -> Settings Manager -> "Session and Startup"
so cannot be added to startup, via the usual route.

The problem is the line
NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;MATE;LXQt;XFCE;Unity;X-Cinnamon;

which specifically blocks lxpolkit from appearing in Xfce settings tab.
