Keep Authorization

I guess maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly.  It doesn't let me do
anything in my local user account either.  I get the prompt for password
and then the Key Authorization comes up and then nothing happens.  The
panel I requested never comes up.  For example I wanted to change my
screen resolution so I clicked on Display settings menu item.  That is
when this Key Authorization issue started happening.

If you're logged in as root, you shouldn't need extra authentication to
run
these programs. But, you shouldn't be logged in as root.
