Could someone comment about this issue, even if it's not fixed? - Why is the popup needed? - What is the effect if you agree, and provide auth information? - What is the effect if you don't agree, and don't provide auth info? Will something not work, if you don't proceed with auth?

(xiccd 0.3.0-1 may also be relevant.) I log into the Xfce desktop environment, and immediately see an "Authenticate" window pop up: Authentication is required to create a color managed device Password for root: ________ Action: org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device Vendor: System Color Manager I see this in syslog: Apr 8 05:38:30 test-ubuntu64 dbus-daemon[573]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' unit='colord.service' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=1475 comm="xiccd " label="unconfined") This prompt is confusing to ordinary users, and I do not understand why it should even be necessary.
