It's also broken there, at least in my machine. It would ask for
authentication, then "stuck" for a very long time, then ask authentication
again with a slightly different dialog box and has "username" & "password" field
with username populated with "root", then stuck again. I lost patient and just
canceled it, and run it as root.
So yes, it's probably related...
