I believe Fedora 17 has an add user to admin group checkbox when

Actually, FC16 has this feature (and I use it).  But this is sometimes even more
confusing.  Does that dialog want my password, or root pw?  Some dialogs do
clearly say, some don't.

The number of times I wonder... which password do I enter here? Is
astounding.

I'd say it's a pretty solid principle that you should file a bug any
time you come across a dialog which doesn't specify this.

I will from now on... at the time it was more of a "am I the only one who doesn't get this"? I trust the developers soooo it must be me. :D
