I know this is not a bug,
but in my opinion it is not very good for the usability of ubuntu.
Everytime a passwort prompt (gksu/sudo) window opens the whole screen
turns black and I can't do anything. I think this is not very good. Of
couse it's important to let the user know that he is doing something
critical and he should pay attention, but I think this is already done
by the passwort prompt it self.
So I think, the screen should not turn black if a passwort window comes.
And whats even more worse: If you click on the shutdown icon in the
upper right corner, the hole screen turns black, too! But why? Maybe I
forgot to save my documents before I shutdown the computer.
If the screen would not turn black, I could click on gedit and save it,
and then click on shutdown.
But in the situation as it is now, i have to click the shutdown menu
away, save, and open it again. It's much more complicated.
So in my opinion, we should change this for usability reasons.
