There appears to be an upstream gnome patch for this at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692937, including for gnome- shell 3.6. Can we get this applied to Ubuntu?
I got there via bug #1167059 and then https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690592. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #692937 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692937 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077546 Title: Gnome Shell sudo dialog said "Sorry, that didn't work.
