Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: policykit
I'm using Hardy Heron alpha 6 with all updates under VMWare Server.
When you press unlock in any settings tool under System > Administration and
wait for about 25 seconds without entering your password, a pop-up is displayed
saying authentication failed and that an unexpected error occurred. Even more
annoying is that this messagebox cannot be closed until the authentication
window is closed. If you close it with the cancel button, then you can try
again and enter the password right away, in which case all is well.
However, when you press authenticate to close the authentication window, any
further clicking on the unlock button will result in the same popup appearing.
You then have to close the entire tool and try again before you can procede
with your changes.
If this is caused by a time-out (as added security perhaps), then the
message should be more informative and less annoying. Otherwise, this is
an annoying bug which should be fixed.
