Costales,

I noticed that the described behavior is intermittent, and does not only
pertain to gufw (which, when started from the command line, works just
fine).

I found the same behavior also with Software Center, not bringing up the
auth dialog when clicking on "Install" to install a new piece of
software.  When logging out and back in again, the behavior is fixed
across the board, including Firewall.

I am wondering what software package could cause this, as I am sure that
this is not limited to Firewall, but any GUI driven tool that calls for
authentication. Again, this is intermittent and so far I haven't
observed a pattern to reproduce.
