It's some issue with the pkexec dialogue and Xfce (at least for me).
I linked the bug report I had opened in Debian some time ago (for 
gnome-system-log) to the bug report for system-config-users because the 
fix was something else than just add 'StartupNotify=true' to the desktop 
file.

I'll report whatever I find on this. Since Xfce isn't a blocker for 
anything in Fedora it's a bit overlooked so I'll do what I can ATM which 
is report bugs.
