Bug Description
Binary package hint: policykit
Under normal user in Gutsy, I am confident that I can change and only $HOME and /tmp dirs, and I cannot break my system, but in Hardy I can not be confident in this, because I could forget to turn of "remember authorization".
I suggest the default should be not to keep authorization indefinitely.
Screenshot attached.
