Gnome2-2 popup: Keep auth, Forget Auth...Heh?

So I'm in my new ML9.1, and in gnome2-2, on the internet with galeon, I've been opening aterm and su-ing to root and installing with urpmi and opened nautilus as root once. After not su-ing for about 15 min., out of know where for no apparent reason I get a popup window that's tittled "Question" that says

 

"You're currently authorized to configure system-wide settings (that affect all users) without typing the administrator password again. You can give up this authorization."

 

and it has 2 buttons

1.Keep Authorization

2. Forget Authorization

 

The answer is obvious, but what, who, where, when, and WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? :shock: and can this only hapen to those that enter the root password...I assume?????

while in gnome2, go to the Main menu>Configuration>GNOME>Advanced>Sessions and look for something like;

/usr/bin_or_sbin?/pam-panel-icon

highlight it>click the Remove buttom>and Apply>and save your session either by;

1. in a terminal typing gnome-session-save

2. having "Automatically save changes to sessions" ticked in the Sessions Properties.

3. In a file mgr. click on /usr/bin/gnome-session-save

 

No more annoying icons and popups. Works for me....but I don't have gnome or nautilus drawing the desktop, and don't know if this makes a diff or not.
