When using sudo at the command line, the user is asked for a password sometimes

It leaves the user not knowing when they have root privileges and when they don't.

Furthermore, clicking on the system tray update icon once will ask for a
password; closing the program and clicking on the tray icon again does not ask
for a password; this does not seem safe at all.
