Bug Description

Binary package hint: gksu

In the Karmic beta, using any program that requires entering your password causes the entire screen to fill with the fire effect as if a window is being closed. Not sure if this is intended or not, but it didn't happen in Jaunty previously.

This happens just after you enter your password and hit enter. It seems like it's caused by the grey background that fills the screen.

Using an NVidia gtx260.
