That's a bug in gksu, the program responsible for starting applications as the root user. The problem is that it locks the whole screen while you type your password.
Hopefully, I think it is to be changed to use PolicyKit for authentication, meaning that it would use the standard password dialog that does not grab keyboard for the whole desktop. So that's just a matter of waiting for the fix to be released.
