Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Tested on 9.10 beta and 9.04 as well.
Steps to reproduce:
#Set a root password.
sudo passwd
# Verify you can login at a local console.
(ctrl+alt+f1) login...
Logout/switch back to your X session.
Attempt to launch a graphical system administration tool (such as the
user/group editor). Note how there is no way to authenticate using the
root account, even though it has a username, password, and sufficient
permissions to manually complete the same tasks.
** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
