Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

I don't know if this is the right package (or is it policykit?), please correct if I'm wrong.
When you update software in KPackagekit, you are asked for your password.
Bit the Legitimation dialog (see screenshot below) shows you no user selected if there are more than one users in the system.
Instead of having the current logged in user selected as default (if I *really* want - which is normally NOT the case, I could change this anyway) there is NO user selected and the cursor is in the user select combo.

This is extremely unconvenient. in >99% you will just want to type in
YOUR password.

Solution for more usability:
* per default select the currently logged in user in the combo box.
* put the focus in the password edit field
