Bug Description
I know this is not a bug,
but in my opinion it is not very good for the usability of ubuntu.
Everytime a passwort prompt (gksu/sudo) window opens the whole screen turns black and I can't do anything. I think this is not very good. Of couse it's important to let the user know that he is doing something critical and he should pay attention, but I think this is already done by the passwort prompt it self.
So I think, the screen should not turn black if a passwort window comes.
And whats even more worse: If you click on the shutdown icon in the upper right corner, the hole screen turns black, too! But why? Maybe I forgot to save my documents before I shutdown the computer.
If the screen would not turn black, I could click on gedit and save it, and then click on shutdown.
But in the situation as it is now, i have to click the shutdown menu away, save, and open it again. It's much more complicated.
So in my opinion, we should change this for usability reasons.

This hasn't been changed at all since this bug was reported, so I'll mark it as Confirmed so it's not stuck in New status.
