Thanks for the investigation. I've been hoping someone else would lend a pair of eyes to this problem for ages. When you change the icon in `user-manager` repeatedly, are you prompted for a root password **every time**? On my system (Tumbleweed), there's a "grace period" where I don't get re-prompted and the icon doesn't change reliably. It may be different on different system. @hein has said this works for him, but his system ( Fedora?) doesn't use `user-manager`. I think there's either a bug in QML or some weirdness in `user-manager` that I haven't been able to track down. Thanks for the tip on cutting the `OpacityMask` circle, although I doubt it's related to the bigger issue.
