Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: policykit
On the current Ubuntu Karmic Beta, certain windows prompt for me to pick
an administrator username and then enter a password. On Jaunty, these
windows would simply ask for my password, because I *am* an
administrator.
This only happens for certain actions, such as choosing System >
Configuration > Login Screen and clicking the "unlock" button. "xprop
WM_CLASS" tells me the offending window comes from "polkit-gnome-
authentication-agent-1", which I assume is part of policykit.
For extra lack of usability, the "Select user..." dropdown appears
grayed out, even though it is actually clickable, and in fact must be
clicked to get through the dialog.
