Bug Description
Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome
I just installed a clean lucid beta. I have one NTFS partition which appears automatically in "Places" menu. When I select it, it asks for my sudo password. If I click CANCEL in this password dialog, then I get a message box that says "Authentication failure". If I try to enter a password and get it wrong, then some sort of messagebox or similar is of course needed, but if I press CANCEL the password dialog should just go away and no further errors should be displayed.
There is a related but different papercut bug which discusses changing the text of the error, however note that this bug talks about not showing any error at all for the special case when the user clicks CANCEL. For details on the other bug, see:

Very good catch, I've been meaning to report this for a while. I do suspect that it is not a paper cut as it may not be trivial to fix.
