BTW I just discovered that it also works if I just launch from the terminal without being root, but still not from the Main menu :-( Jaap A.

If filed a bug on this today at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107404 Basically, if you run a program that requires root password from the command line, usermode caches the root password but the pam-panel-icon does not appear for some reason. The problem is that the pam-panel-icon process is still running, so it's not clear to the user that the root password has been cached. This isn't good from a security point of view. If you start the program from the menus, the pam-panel-icon will appear correctly. Cheers, Brent
