As of 10.04, yes. I'll report back after I try 12.04.

I'm running 9.04 Netbook Remix, and if I run a GUI application and do something requiring sudo privileges, I receive a password prompt that blocks access to any other windows on the screen. Fine and good, but because of a disability, my only means of keyboard input is the OnBoard on-screen keyboard. My only recourse for such basic tasks as installing updates and adding packages is to pull out the terminal, hope I can find the pertinent command, and sudo it so I can give my password via terminal. This rather negates the convenience of doing these things from the GUI. Naturally, the expected behavior is that I be able to use OnBoard to enter my password into the prompt. Any other user who uses an on-screen keyboard or other GUI-based application for keyboard input will be susceptible to this issue. I imagine there are a fair number.
