Excellent summary, thank you Miguel. I think Ubuntu without the menu -- or any other way to discard those privileges -- would be better than Ubuntu with the menu. Gnome 3 drops it anyway, so in that respect this bug is fixed. Better still would be to have an understandable way of controlling

I agree that the drop privileges indicator doesn't fit in well. Is it an annoyance to not have PolicyKit ever remember authentication after the window is closed? From a design/security perspective, I'd like to note that sudo stays authenticated for a certain period as long as that terminal tab is

It would be useful if, for instance: Your child is playing, and an update manager window appears; you don't want him to install updates, so you need to provide your password for that kind of operations. But then, you don't want to be prompted for the password every time when you are doing

I believe it basically means it drops the privileges you authenticated for. IE you probably got a password prompt recently that asked for your password to allow you to do things you might not want every user doing such as installing packages, adding/deleting users, changing time, partitioning the
