Hello Bacher,

Thanks for the comment. Let me explain once more, Please correct me if I am 
wrong.

First I  login with the root user name ie(root) . 
Now I have  root session. 
Now I choose to switch the user, doing so I have my root session running, but I 
am back to the login screen.
Now I am choosing another user X and logs into it. Now I have a valid session 
for user X also, so in total I have 
a root user session which is run in background, and an active session for user 
X.
Now user X is trying to shutdown the computer, he gets warned, since root user 
has his session running in background.

Now user X is cancelling the authentication request.. which session shall I 
expect to get back to?? to user X rite??..
But what I see is I am back in root session.. How can we justify that an 
unprivileged user like X getting root access with out any 
authentication?? more than that , he has canceled the authentication request..

Regards,
Abhilash/
