Public bug reported:

Small thingy, but when having multiple user accounts, since karmic the
privilege granting window requires you to first select which 'admin'
user you actually want to use for this action. For an action that is so
frequent, this is an waste of clicks. In my opinion the window should at
least preselect the current user, esp. if he is an admin, since chances
are very small you would want to use someone else's credentials.

That said, there seems to be no way to remember authorisations for the
cpu frequency scaling applet anymore (not sure if there used to be a way
for this). Isn't this something that should be unlocked at login?
