Nautilus crashes on password prompt using libpam-thinkfinger

[ArCeSiNo]

In Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex - 8.10

I have a Dell XPS M1330 and the Fingerprint Reader enabled with ThinkFinger following the how to explained at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger. I've installed the packages thinkfinger-tools and libpam-thinkfinger from the Jon Oberheide's repository at https://launchpad.net/~jon-oberheide/+archive.

The problem comes when the root privileges prompt asks for superuser password in both ways typing "sudo" in a terminal or opening an administrative application like synaptic or gparted, the authentication using fingerprint works but nautilus crashes and almost all the times restarts.

Using thinkfinger-tools and libpam-thinkfinger version 0.3+r118-0ubuntu4 and nautilus version 2.24.1.
