When you start an application using Red Hat's consolehelper (which is 
what you're doing), you get a "keys" icon on your panel.  Double click 
the icon and "forget authorization" before you log out.

If you file a bug, request that this application always "forget" when 
the process exits.  The component is "usermode-gtk".
