Comment 14 for bug 436852

Prior to the latest round of updates I was also still experiencing this on a metacity based test box. With the latest updates it appears that auth. has been reverted to system modal. While I actually prefer the window modal method of authentication, I'm not complaining, either way is fine. Consistency of operation is far more important to me (and I suspect other users as well). If the Policykit discussion https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596260 gets sorted out then my preference is window modal, but until then I'm quite happy with the revert to system modal.

Focus issue is no longer a problem on my metacity test box.
