Actually, I meant that it doesn't matter which option I choose. I never
get the password option to use system setting tools. I only get the key
question again on every attempt to use a system setting tool. Sorry
about the html, it was my first time posting.

If I say "keep authorisation" I can use any other application which
requires root permissions. If I say "forget authorisation" just a second
later the icon disappears from notification area and I need to reenter
the root password to use privileged tools.
So, it acts like it shall.
