Title:
  User receives prompt on login: "Authentication is required to create a
  color managed device"

Status in colord package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This concerns colord 1.4.4-2 in Ubuntu focal. (xiccd 0.3.0-1 may also
  be relevant.)

  I log into the Xfce desktop environment, and immediately see an
  "Authenticate" window pop up:

      Authentication is required to create a color managed device

      Password for root: ________

      Action: org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device
      Vendor: System Color Manager

  I see this in syslog:

      Apr  8 05:38:30 test-ubuntu64 dbus-daemon[573]: [system]
  Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager'
  unit='colord.service' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=1475
  comm="xiccd " label="unconfined")

  This prompt is confusing to ordinary users, and I do not understand
  why it should even be necessary.
