Bug Description

When starting Software & Updates through the menu in Lubuntu I am not asked for my password. I am unable to make any changes because the program is not run as root.

Running 'sudo software-properties-gtk' from the terminal allows me to change options as expected.

I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.

If it works in standard Ubuntu but not in Lubuntu, it's probably a bug in Lubuntu's menu system, so adding lubuntu-meta.
