What precisely does gnome ask in that box?

Comment 2 Bruno Goncalves 2014-06-20 06:36:42 UTC
Hi Lennart,

I'm running now systemd-208-16.fc20.x86_64 and it has been fixed there. 
The box was asking for authentication, similar for example, when running "virt-manager".

Should I close it as current release?
