My F19 also does this, but only if I have logged in on one of the
consoles (e.g. CTRL-ALT-F2) as well as through the GUI. Then I get some
verbiage about password being required when other users are logged in.
But it's my password rather than root's (presumably this because my
account is set up as an admin).
