Well someone isn't on the Ubuntu train. Anytime I want to run something that requires root privileges - like an installer for .debs from the net - gtksudo pops up and asks me for my password just like in mac. It's an annoyance that I'm happy to live with. If I login as a non-admin user that won't happen though, and half of the items in the system menu disappear.
