Feel free to suggest a text change, but our experience is that people do not
read the dialogs, especially if they know what to expect.  As soon as the
user realizes that they are being prompted for their password, they stop
reading and enter it.

This is particularly insidious because it is users who have installed Linux
before, and therefore have the expectation of a root password, who are
bitten.
