Yep me too. After install I'm having the same problem with multiple applications. I tried setting the root password using $sudo su passwd$ and also tried setting it in the user dialog. It still doesn't work. Your hack works, but I agree something is wrong with the user privilage settings. Maybe another app is excessivly blocking application privlages.
