Authentification dialog is too wide

[Alex Moldovan]

The authentication dialog for update-manager, synaptic...etc is too wide, accommodating approximately 120 characters. See the attached screen-shot. However executing "gksu gedit" brings up a smaller authentication window, of more appropriate length. I've discovered that there are other extra wide dialog windows displaying messages. This is most likely because they have to accommodate the text they're displaying. It's looks more like a matter of formatting the text in some dialog boxes. Not sure that gksu should be the affected package here.

Could you please upload a picture of what the (correct) dialog looks like, from a previous release, for comparison.
