Comment 6 for bug 490850

It just happened again, but this time not in the software-center. I wanted to mount my Windows partition from the Places menu. It asks for my password using the same Authenticate dialog as the software-center uses, and it just did the same thing. I entered my password, and the password field disappeared but the dialog did not. Once again the Cancel and Authenticate buttons did nothing and after closing the dialog the partition was mounted

I can't believe I'm the only once seeing this. Perhaps I should list my hardware in some detail in case it has to do with that:

Intel Core2 Extreme Q6850 3 GHz CPU (quad core)
4 GB RAM
2 x NVidia Geforce 8800 GTX with 768 MB RAM each
NVidia binary driver (from repository)
three monitors (one on the first card, two on the second) with Xinerama

If there's some kind of debug logging I can activate in the hopes of catching some relevant information next time it happens then please let me know!

Since it looks like this bug is broader than just the software-center, but instead is in whichever component it is that displays the Authenticate dialog, perhaps this bug should be reassigned?
